Once again, this is an opinion piece that (willfully?) misrepresents several arguments and mixes and matches them throughout. First of all, the problem of software you purchased being deactivated remotely didn't exist in the first place. The problem was introduced with the (sometimes forced) reliance on online infrastructure. Second of all, service agreements for software are fine and very common for different sectors. These usually contain specifics about how long support will continue and even often include exit options for when the time comes to migrate. Putting video games on the same footing as most business software is also fine.

You don't get paid as CEO because you make "happy mistakes". Usually there's the concept of the benefit of the doubt but, again, if you're paid for this exact job (lobbying for third party interest: half-truths and open lies)...
Oh fun, yet another attempt to mislead the government while under oath. Fucking scum. Never trust a corp.
