This should be of interest to anyone with any degree of involvement in software/digital content in general, as gaming has set off multiple predatory trends throughout the industry (see tiered subscription models, preorders, online-only, FOMO purchases, etc.)

Plus this thing has been happening for a while with digital content. I'm thinking here of music, as Amon Tobin, for example, has a couple of songs which cannot be obtained legally, or even streamed online, due to copyright shenanigans (if I'm not mistaken, Nissan holds the rights to Easy Muffin and Four Ton Mantis since around the mid-2000s, as they were used in a couple of commercials...).
