Seems like there’s going to be a point where people are noticing the games they spent money on don’t work as they should anymore because the servers get shut down.
How would you feel if most of the multiplayer games you spent money on suddenly stopped being multiplayer because the business decided it’s not worthwhile for them to keep the servers running?
Yes, precisely. These days, when I consider buying a game, if it doesn’t have LAN, private servers, or direct connections, I treat the multiplayer as though it doesn’t exist, because one day it won’t.
