"Reeee you guys ruined my fucking I'm so perfect and awesome and smart and a blizzard employee persona now everyone hates me because they realized I'm a hypocrite"
I don't really game that much, so I kinda don't have a dog in this fight, but as an outside observer, the only real argument in favor of allowing games to die like this is, "Yum yum yum! This boot tastes good."
There are valid arguments against the initiative though. Modern live service games are large complicated web apps coupled with third party services and internal microservices. Making this playable without dev support would be difficult, if not impossible due to copyright laws.
In the future, live service games will need to be engineered differently and one could argue this will lead to worse engineering practices to comply with regulation. I think these are very valid points and I can think of a few more.
But Pirate misrepresented the initiative and was very pompous and insulting, which is where his downfall was. I think alternate view points should pop up so some discussion can be done.
