This is pretty much every company that publishes games. So we just don’t buy / play games ? We want real change we need to push for more physical releases with game on disc. On top of that we need to push for more single player experiences. This way no matter the licenses agreement I can still boot the games
Going back as far as the mid 90s I recall seeing verbiage in the software agreement that I didn’t own the software. And they had the right to refuse my access without notice But because the software is on the disc I can still boot it to this day
I don’t expect companies to hold servers for the rest of time so I can redownload my game. What I ask for is a physical copy.

Just because it’s on a disc doesn’t mean it can be played offline. The game that started #StopKillingGames was the 2014 game The Crew that was shut down in 2024, and even if you had the physical discs, the game required internet and stopped working after 2024

That’s my point pushing single player experiences. No online component to check no authentication. If there is no hosts there is nothing they can shut down.
