What hinders HP to open a top tier games division, hire Kojima, buy the MGS IP from Konami, and fulfill my want? Then maybe I'll consider renting a printer from them.

I got one for you: You're on a tightrope of balancing security and your pocketbook, because a firmware update might also include DRM to brick any aftermarket toners you might have purchased.

Oh, you don't wanna pay out the nose for gEnUiNe HP?? What's your threat model look like?

Ridiculous.
