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?
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
