That something so ridiculous is within the realm of possibility just shows how absurd the subscription landscape has gotten. It's sad that they even have to clarify this.

They have to clarify this, because their CEO said that was something she wanted to make. What they're actually doing is covering their asses because of all the negative sentiment they've stirred up now. It's actually just a lie to say they have no plans.

Not just wanted to make, the original article implied existence of a prototype. That's "putting into effect a plan" which, for fans of causality, implies a pre-existing plan.
