| Shadow1980 said: Good. It really should be legally required that any online-only game must, if the developer/publisher ceases support, make it to where the game remains functional and playable indefinitely without their support. They shouldn't be allowed to just make a game vanish into oblivion with the flip of a switch. |
If they don't charge you a dime, I don't see how it should be against the law. Yeah it sucks, but it was free. I think since most of us are gamers and not game developers, we tend to only think about how it affects us and forget about how it might affect the people on the other end.
Now, if it's a game you actually paid for? Then yeah, I think 100% there should be some sort of consumer protection in place where the game has to be available to purchasers in an offline capacity should the servers go down.
