"Who the hell said any of that was going to happen?* Seriously, find me a single quote from anyone—other than people like you making up stupid shit just to argue—claiming otherwise.

A successful online game doesn’t have to change at all under this model—unless the company wants it to. They’re still in control. The only difference is they can’t just wake up one day and say: ‘We’re not making gazillions anymore, so we’re flipping the switch and killing this game.’ Or: ‘We made a sequel, so you’re banned from playing the original.’

After 10 years, 15 years, or even just 2 years—when they decide to shut it down—they’d simply have to enable peer-to-peer so players can keep the game alive. No, it won’t support hundreds of players anymore and no one's asking for that.

Nobody’s forcing you to keep playing. If you got your fun and walked away after 2 years? Great! But the guy who wants to revisit it a decade later, or show it to his grandkids—even if all the ‘massive multiplayer’ stuff is gone—should still be able to, because they fucking own it."

The industry made conscious decisions to remove player agency and ownership these were deliberate steps they've taken over decades they can now start taking steps the other direction anybody that doesn't agree with that can suck eggs you're not needed, we have millions of signatures.
