Games that require active servers are also not meant to be sold forever,

I was pretty careful with my wording. I said they weren't built to be sold forever. Maybe that's pedantic, but I'd consider it shortsighted thinking that they can't get the perpetual license to sell that game with those cars, just like I'd consider it shortsighted thinking that games are sold that require a connection to the publisher's server. In either case, it's BS.
