No, I brought it to consume it - it gave me enjoyment and filled its job.
I don’t get to keep every piece of food I buy and keep eating it over and over, like how I never get to explore games for the first time. I don’t get a refund on a game once I finish it because I no longer get that initial wave of excitement and wonder.
These games have been out for 10 years - if you didn’t get the value out of it in that time you never were going to.
games aren’t food, they don’t expire or disappear when you eat them, they aren’t even subject to physical degradation they’re files. As long as somebody has a copy of the files they can exist.
A company should have no fucking business removing the ability to play something that I legally own from me. I bought the game I get to use it for as long and as many times as I want. Don’t want to keep running the server infrastructure forever? Fine, give me the tools to host the game’s server myself. Don’t want to do that? Ok, don’t make a game that requires it. Don’t wanna do that either? Then don’t sell games.
I regularly play games older than 10 years. Heck, I even sometimes play games as old as 30 years. Who are you to tell me how long I should enjoy a game for?
