    While if you bought it, it should be source included and you should be able to host your own servers/pick any patch to play on

    We don’t have those consumer protections because software is a relatively new thing

          While the other person saying 80 years is a bit much, it has been a constant for at least 40 years now.

          Personal computing and software isn’t new.

          Edit: To clarify, 1984 (40 years ago) saw Superbowl ads for the Apple Macintosh and the advent of the CD-ROM.
