Look, I’d be happy if they just open source the server code. You don’t need to force the fucks to run the damn software. That’s like the worst idea ever.

it’s also incredibly unlikely to stick, whereas open sourcing server code might happen.

I’m actually for a law that forces them to open source server code upon release. The only reason to keep it private is to have direct control over the experience. At that point they might as well be honest and have you pay subscription, because you don’t really fully own the product. And before you say that could exclude any kind of live service, DRMs can and should be updated independently. They offset server processing by utilizing your processor and memory anyways, so it’ll have little effect on that dubious practice.
