I don’t think you should be allowed access to the source code unless the developer wants you back there.

At least with a hamburger you know how to keep making more and the company can’t take it back from you in a year if they don’t sell well.
I don’t think you should be allowed to access your cars engine unless the manufacturer wants you in there.
You don’t buy a hamburger and remove the pickles or add extra ketchup.
This is either a bad faith argument, trolling, deliberate mischaracterization, or you have seriously misunderstood what you’ve read.

“What, the author’s notes? Publishing rights? I’m confused because video games are different somehow!”
Literally nobody is advocating for the release of source code. Read the damn petition.
This is very specifically about making sure when you drop support for a product you sold, that it is still usable. Every live service game has testing server files that can be released. Even if those files are a retail product, that’s better than what these people are doing. There is not a single good reason games should be left unplayable after the publisher decides it is no longer profitable to maintain it. Servers do not have to run on the publisher’s dime and there is no longer an expectation for things like anticheat to function once the product reaches the end of expected support. Hundreds of thousands of games have been released and had their support end without taking the playability of the game away from the customer.
