Releasing the source code would allow anyone to copy AND modify or extend the game as they see fit
So just like when you buy a bicycle irl and you are allowed to customize it and set it up as you want. Are you saying we shouldn’t be allowed to modify goods?
A house isn’t software, it’s more like getting handled the blueprints of the building. They already have access to the property what’s the difference if they have the blueprints or not
When i buy a bicycle i’m thinking of buying the experience, not the underlying mechanisms
When you pirate the game you are making an identical copy of the game
