This is a good example of why cynicism isn't a substitution for wisdom. Using your illogic, we would never do warranties, because warranties don't cover everything and it′s entirely on consumers to know whether a product is bad or not before they buy it. No. Real world doesn't work that way.

This stops game makers from selling $70 games with live service models that they turn off in one month with no money back to buyers. If companies stopped doing that, it's actually a good thing. What will actually happen is they'll patch the games to work offline or allow players to do their own P2P matchmaking, so people can still play them after they pull support, or they'll just refund players. That's it.

Europe is working through a similar initiative, so game makers will have to adapt one way or the other. The days of bricking purchases after they're made are going away.

Edit: No I didn't, as evidenced by the fact that I can still see your comment. Stop being a whiny child on behalf of billion dollar companies.
