"It's their game" is a viewpoint I completely stand against. (Destiny)

For one simple reason.

They are creating a product that people are paying for. As a consumer, you have the right to expect this product to be a certain thing. Unfortunately, the way game sales work now is that companies treat it as a 'license' to the game, and that you don't have the 'right' to play it if they don't want you do.

That's simply not right. On an ethical level.

There's also a second simple reason.
It's in the field. It's ours. Having the idea be 'It's their game' is what allowed George Lucas to go back and destroy the Original Trilogy.
