Comment on Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will end service in Nov 28 - but will transition to a paid offline app

So the devs give all the founders an empty map they can run around offline in and that fixes everything? The game hasn’t been killed? It’s been saved?

If they can play against bots, which already exist in the game, or band enough people together with access to the game to play on a server one player is able to host, then yes. That’s what I’d expect at a minimum.

  How would access be enforced to only paying customers? That would require a server which the company is shutting down

    If they want to keep some form of DRM then that’s not my job to figure out. This wasn’t a problem back in the day when server software being distributed was the norm, so it shouldn’t be a problem now.
    
    Though personally I’d be in favor of abolishing DRM entirely, but that’s another story.

    So you want people to follow a law without knowing how it should be followed? You signed a petition and now it’s someone else’s problem if they get in legal trouble or not? This makes the world a better place because it protects theoretical people?
