I bought the game, not the platform. FU - I am paying for running the 'license' of the game on a given GPU/CPU? its Oracle Licensing policy, recall when Oracle tied your DB lic to a CPU? Fuck that.

You didn't even buy a game, you but a license to a game. One that often can't even be resold like normal licensed wares.

Luckily, piracy remains an option if you're willing to download patches manually.
