    We need ownership rights.

    Like if I buy a Corvette, Chevy should not ever be able to change the product I own in any capacity whatsoever. They should not be able to lock features of the thing I own behind a paywall and server.

      Yeah, but if you aren’t being sold subscription services, then there’s no stream of recurring revenue, and if that happens quarterly earnings won’t show a graph going up. Which means shareholders can’t go afford their backup vacation house and CEOs yachts will be a few inches shorter. Honestly, think of the yachts next time.
