Ever wonder why Activision didn't remaster Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, despite releasing a campaign remaster? It was because they had the rebooted MW2 coming out and didn't want people playing the old one.
Remember when player counts were literally stripped out of Halo and COD because nobody was playing the newer games?
When Activision did remaster COD4 and its multiplayer, close to the end of its life cycle they start making it intentionally dogshit by adding more and more P2W and microtransaction elements that weren't in the original game, leading to an exodus to the newer games to no one's surprise.
They're afraid that if they give games basic functionality like private servers, they won't have autonomy over their game anymore. The lobbyist group literally admits as much, but frames it through the lens of "OH NO SOMEONE MIGHT SAY THE NIGGER WORD AND WE CAN'T BAN THEM ON A PRIVATE SERVER", which is also quite retarded in and of itself mind you. That should be a reason for voting for it, not against it.
They also collect a SHITLOAD of data, like absurd amounts. The rootkits they install on your computer phones home to give them a lot of telemetry and diagnostic data which they sell to third party advertisers in order to make a profit. These anti-cheats rootkits are proprietary, so giving the consumer the AWS binary would endanger not just them but the third parties too.
In other words, their whole business is endangered by this. Their gib money cheat code no longer works and their jewish schemes are foiled.
It shouldn't be legal to sell a product to a customer for $80 which not only kills itself after an arbitrary period of time, but also steals their data, sells it, and makes them the product. How this is allowed today is proof of how legislation hasn't yet caught up to digital goods.
