Comment on Will all these multiplayer games being released without support for LAN or hosting our own servers will no longer be playable with others when the company shuts down the servers?

  You never owned your games, what are you talking about

  This all started 15+ years ago.

  I vaguely recall this transition with a Call of Duty game, when you could no longer host your own, for a game where that really wasn’t necessary, unlike MMORPG.

  And today with the high bandwidth home connections, hardware capability, or even just using a VPS, you could still host with appropriate performance.
