The terms of the GPL apply if you have access to the game aka you bought it. You should have access to the code. Catch being you ask for it. Nobody installs Ubuntu and is forced to have all the source.... But it is available as per the GPL.
I don't think that's quite true, based on my reading of it:
> Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, _to give any third party_, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange
The company accepts the licence by using the code (or don't accept it, in which case it's copyright infringement), so they must offer it to any one.
