Do you consciously look for that wording on your ticket every time you go to the movies, or do you just KNOW the ticket is for one showing, because of cultural common sense knowledge you aqcuired in your early childhood that a ticket is for one showing?
Now what does our cultural common sense knowledge say about online games? That they WILL die one day. Refusing to accept this is on the level of a tantrum that the ticket can't be used twice, or that the live TV show you liked stopped running.

Live service games are more like live TV shows or hosted events you attend in person. The circus does not owe you the elephants. The amusement park does not owe you the fucking rides. And your EA slop shutting down is not the end of the world, if you feel scammed, don't buy EA. And if you really want server binaries, groom some young naive developer into your cult so that he releases them. Protip, you won't, you'll throw him to the dogs and he'll go work at the big companies or make one himself.
Carmack open sourced his games because he was happy with where he was at. If he was forced to make Doom and Quake today, forcibly exposed to the modern internet, he'd tell you to take a hike.
