What the fuck. Why can’t you disable such an expensive feature if you don’t want it?
Next up, I’ll be adding a Whirlwind Simulator in my Ice-cream shop. It’s a surcharge and it’s required before you step in.
What do you mean, like the recording thing? You can easily disable it, but I DO want it! I want it so badly! But I don’t wait it constantly writing to an SSD or HDD.
You can turn it off, people just enjoy the feature so decided to do an easy improvement that some corpo decided was “out of scope”.
