@sapphire @Goalkeeper Works in Russia, when that one guy got banned from Steam and lost his library.
Complained to the government, and they sued Steam for him, got his games back.

@Goalkeeper You're just a weakling faggot who fears to grip the sword, letting your enemies castrate you.

@Goalkeeper Negligence can be sued for, and lifting of the veil is a thing.

You're so pathetically pessimistic, just kill yourself and be done with it.

@Goalkeeper You strongly implied that games that don't have a meaningful single-player component don't "have a leg to stand on".

I disagree.

And if the law forced companies to release their dedicated server software when a game is sunsetted, that will make things easier for hardcore fans who want to keep the community going, and mod in more content.
Keep their games alive, that they paid for, and invested time and money in.

@Goalkeeper Considering people run private MMO servers, I call BS on the "it's too complicated" argument.

Consumer protection laws absolutely should address this.
Recognize the practice of "product as a service" for the fraud that it is.

It's not just about games, it's about software as a service like Adobe, and heated seats IN YOUR OWN CAR that you have to pay subscription for to activate.

And let's not forget pic related.
The law needs to address this.
Some things must be open sourced, or released under certain conditions, such as the company going bankrupt.
Abandonware at the very least should become freeware.
