You don’t own in-game assets – If a game shuts down or bans you, your items, skins, and currencies are gone.

Do I need skins and other items if the game shuts down? I think that if something happens with the game, I don't need their assets, so while it sounds to be a good deal, it's not a priority to my mind, it's a solution that doesn't bring many benefits.

Centralized control – Devs decide everything. A patch or update can devalue your in-game progress overnight.

Is that a bad thing? The game is owned by company and its developers, so they are the ones who make changes. I don't know if there exists any commercial open-source game.

You got me curious, so i did quick research and found these list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_video_games

From quick glance, most of them are old or not popular. But these two seems to be fairly popular.
