the only "freedom" you're giving up by playing a closed-source game is your freedom to fuck around

Wrong
1.The freedom to mod games, without any limits - closed source games impose artificial limits and 'hardcode' many things.
2.The freedom to play anywhere, anytime and host your private servers. Independence from commercial/official servers.
3.The freedom to create any maps/scenarios/data files and play them without being censored, limited or banned.
4.The ability to update/modify the source code, fix bugs and develop the game further, after the developers/companies abandon it or cease publishing.
5.The freedom to learn programming tricks and cool hacks/ideas from examining source code and applying it in other games/software.
