Devil's advocate/some problems I see with this.

  • If this applies to video games, what differentiates games vs other software?

  • If base software licenses become transferable, will this effectively just force developers to go with subscription elements?

I hope we don't get hit by the law of unintended consequences here and everything becomes "F2P" with a useless base license and subscription to do anything useful.
