It didn't even need to be open-source, it used to be normal for closed-source games to offer free server binaries for anybody who wants to run their own server. Yes, I 100% agree with you there, I just don't feel the need to single out Blizzard for this when it's the whole industry... More than that it's every industry onto this online-only bullshit. Everything from Microsoft office to a freaking John Deere tractor is now cloud-based software.

Why single out Blizzard?

Because that's who we're talking about now. The idea that I'm okay with everything I'm not currently complaining about is an emergent toxic antipattern of trying to talk to people on the internet. I'm not bringing up Microsoft, or John Deere, or anyone else who's also toxic and exploitative because this isn't the place.
