Ecotanks have another problem though. After a certain amount of time they lock themselves into "service mode" because the waste ink pad (or other internal parts) are considered EOL by the printer. The printer has locked itself, and you cannot repair it (unless you send it back and are ready to pay hundreds for it).
I firmly believe that they are better than the cartridge scam, but let's not fool ourselves by thinking that they actually made a printer for the users.
After my account was banned too, I looked around and eventually joined wotas.net. It's very small and you don't get my answers but... at least it's something. Sharing this in the hope that other SO exodus want to join as well (more people = better answers)
Do you really think that asking a $1B cut from $6B revenue is OK? That's a cut of 17% for what? For licensing a name? As a gamer I'd rather save $10 on the price and have it named something else. We already have to put up with the clubs names BS anyway... because they don't have the licenses for using the real team names in the game.
