  Instead of just saying it’s incorrect, say why. I can just as easily say that you’re incorrect.

      That is not a rebuttal. A rebuttal requires evidentiary support of your stance. For instance, as support for saying it costs them nothing, one might offer the following:

      • once released, users would distribute and maintain the file servers independently of the corporation, thus costing the company nothing.
      • once released, users would maintain independent game servers and pay for their upkeep, thus costing the company nothing.
      • once released, the modding community would take over the maintenance and development on the code base, thus costing the company nothing.

      There, 3 salient points which support the position that releasing the codebase for the game when sunsetting it costs the company nothing. I could even make points about how it is actually profitable for the company, but I want to give you your turn to rebutt me now that you have a good example of how to provide a good argument.

        Okay, if the crew was released at EOL, it would have cost ubisoft money on sales of the crew 2. I would not expect them to choose to lose money in that situation. It was only later with multiple issues with multiple games that ubisofts market value tanked and they had to assess a new position/direction for the company.

        Also, we are talking about video games, not a basic right like food, water, and air.
