The OP makes an argument that is novel here. I've seen lots of calls around here to support subsimming by buying the game; this is the first I've seen to support subsimming by NOT buying the game. (What is typical is the call to oppose DRM by not buying the game.) He hasn't introduced any loyalty test, he has just inverted it.

Calling him a bully leading a jihad is just plain silly, and way overblows his stature.
