games aren’t food, they don’t expire or disappear when you eat them, they aren’t even subject to physical degradation they’re files. As long as somebody has a copy of the files they can exist.

A company should have no fucking business removing the ability to play something that I legally own from me. I bought the game I get to use it for as long and as many times as I want. Don’t want to keep running the server infrastructure forever? Fine, give me the tools to host the game’s server myself. Don’t want to do that? Ok, don’t make a game that requires it. Don’t wanna do that either? Then don’t sell games.

Even if it were just 10 people wanting it, it costs the company absolutely nothing to allow them to keep playing their game on a server they host (at no expense for the company).
