If it’s dead by then, it wouldn’t have been a good investment. I’d rather not waste time in a game that won’t live past the hype.

I feel like I already got way more than my money’s worth out of the game, and I’m happy to have moved on to other games. Not every game has to last forever.

Any game that doesn’t last forever was robbed of doing so arbitrarily. If they never updated Palworld again, in its current form, it will last forever.

That’s not really true… No closed source software that isn’t actively developed should be expected to last forever. Eventually the binaries will get to the point where nothing will run them.
You also can’t emulate Windows. Maybe you could virtualize Linux and use wine, but even that is a tall order for “forever”.

You can emulate machines that can run Windows, and that’s very effective at preservation. Wine is already better than modern Windows at running software that relies on deprecated dependencies. But live service is just purposely killing games that didn’t need to die.
