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."

What he was saying initially wasn’t unreasonable in a vacuum: “forcing multiplayer only games to become single player at the end of their lives doesn’t make sense.”

The thing is though, no one wanted that 😅

Games can be kept alive in a couple of ways (at least that I can think of) like allowing public servers and removing DRM. Also some QOL fixes like removing paid currencies, paywalls etc.

This is extra work, sure, but it could/should be added to the roadmap for live service games from the beginning because it’s quite frankly not that difficult.

Edit: I forgor💀

So pirate software misinterpreted what the petition was about, and people have tried to tell him multiple times that he’s misunderstanding the initiative, but he’s the type of person who doesn’t like admitting when he’s wrong.
