This should be illegal, companies should be forced to open-source games (or at least provide the code to people who bought it) if they decide to discontinue it, so people can preserve it on their own.

    Aye, but forcing them to put a clear “We support this until this date” label will make that a mandated part of their marketed.

    That or, you know, force companies to release server software when they sunset support for their product. That would also be nice.

        Which is why we need meaningful consumer protections around this. Something with teeth to force publishers to back these sorts of things.

            I feel like lack of ownership of more and more things in our lives is a sign of problems. Sure, this is just a silly game. But this kind of shit is already hitting cars.
