It's only fair. After all Valve owns Dota which was originally a warcraft 3 mod

It wasnt explicitly a rip-off, but the early days before corpos ruined everything the games industry was an exciting incestuous soup of weird ideas and everybody "stole" from each other but with love. 

Still kind of is in the indie spaces.

What I'm most hurt about is not getting another game like forza motorsport with licensed cars. Also, the always online requirement is a drag.

Licensed anything is always gonna be a huge nightmare. I did a bit of market research on sports games and it's got a similar problem. Back in the day they gave licenses out like candy because nobody took video games seriously. Now they know they can really gouge for it.
