Does this not encourage proprietary vendors to just make everything cloud only with subscription? Including games? In the CFO's office, that's a win-win: increased revenue and security of the code.

At some point, boycott will be consumers' only viable move. Legislation is urgently needed here imo.

The incentive was there before and this latest development serves confirmation bias.
