The underlying fallacy might be the same, but the target is not. That makes a huge difference. Especially with the power discrepancy corporations (the big ones at least, and most others too) have compared to singular humans.

Your point with the DRM is valid, but I could just replace it in this argument with more aggressive anti-cheat. Still, it's a good point.

I didn't know that for Beacon Interactive. Maybe I did stumble on the other one. For me, this wasn't even on the second page of results. My search was indeed inadequate. I blame filter bubbles. And a very stupid naming similarity. Good that you found this though.

I do see Saber (and Beacon) in a better light now, my overall attitude to corporations however won't change. Maybe I'll do more research before commenting. Maybe.
