Sorry, does suck, but I have mk8 and I'm alright with it. But to be fair, you did pay for the game and console once and they weren't seeing any residual money afterwards from online. If you want to blame them for cutting online services or not moving to a new online service after gamespy go ahead. If you want to play mario kart online and you don't have the console and game, that's on you.
It has been 6 years on a dedicated server. In comparison I'd like to mention a game like League of Legends which is now a global force in the MOBA genre. The game is solely dependent on online and has a major following, but in reality that game is just a year younger than MK wii. Certainly LOL isn't shutting down their servers anytime soon, but that's because they make money that way. Nintendo who just released their new MK8 and not seeing residuals for its online, yet, has no reason to keep the wii version up.
