They want to force you and move you onto their next product/upgrade/service and the more control you give them, the more money you're going to pay. The idea you're going to pay less when you said yourself - the stupid and ignorant masses are ok with being exploited... means prices are going to go up not down because the average consumer isn't sophisticated that means prepare to get bent over and get fucked.
You don't seem to understand the basics of big business - they want monopoly profits, and there's no better way of making mad profits then fraud and extortion off the stupid technology illiterate masses.
>And by the way, you never owned Warcraft or Diablo.
Yes that's because lobbyists bribed one sided intellectual property laws into being so that your basic rights as a member of the public to own softwere and the source code was never part of the agenda, you're the exact type of idiot who is uninformed and politically illiterate.

Since 1990, The Walt Disney Company had lobbied for copyright extension.[12][13] The legislation delayed the entry into the public domain of the earliest Mickey Mouse movies, leading detractors to the nickname "The Mickey Mouse Protection Act".[4]
In addition to Disney, California congresswoman Mary Bono (Sonny Bono's widow and Congressional successor), and the estate of composer George Gershwin supported the act. Mary Bono, speaking on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, said:
Actually, Sonny wanted the term of copyright protection to last forever. I am informed by staff that such a change would violate the Constitution. ... As you know, there is also [then-MPAA president] Jack Valenti's proposal for term to last forever less one day. Perhaps the Committee may look at that next Congress
