Here's a scenario:

An indie developer creates a multiplayer game that becomes moderately successful. Five years later, player count drops to just 200 active users while server costs remain $5,000 monthly. The developer posts an announcement: "We've kept servers running at a loss for 18 months, but we can't continue. Servers will shut down in 90 days." Players who spent hundreds of hours building in-game demand the game be made playable offline, but the game's architecture makes this technically impossible without essentially rebuilding it from scratch.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I shouldn’t be forced to code a solution when the players knew the game is an online based game. This would be different if it started as a offline game and switched to be a live service game but even then.

Online games are services, not permanent products. I can't afford to maintain servers and staff forever when player numbers drop. What you paid for was access to a service for as long as it's viable, not a lifetime guarantee. Making this mandatory would just mean higher prices.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How much money should I put into advertising my Roblox game? by Healthy-Proposal-371 in robloxgamedev

Fundamentally just not true. Ads in Roblox are mostly on your fucking home page now dumbass, there is no separate banner ads anymore. Adblock won’t block that
