Your data isn't secure even with the systems in place now, you think EA, activision or Ubisoft really care about player data? Multiple high profile game devs actively have games right now that people can play that have vulnerabilities in them that haven't been patched. No one gives a fuck about player data, which is a separate issue on its own.
Illegal content stops being illegal when it's on a player owned server? bro are you fucking retarded? the LAW keeps working after it goes into the hands of players, why do people keep making these shit arguments about the law like suddenly private servers are exempt from being held accountable for that shit?
Titles being designed from the ground-up to be online-only is part of the problem because players are slowly finding out
>Wait a minute
>Why the fuck does this game need to be online only?
and there's no good answer. Oh wait there is a good answer for you though
It's money.
Yeah just money and microtransactions.
Wait a minute, if making these games playable after shut down is "prohibitively expensive" aren't you loading off costs on to the consumer?
These arguments are so fucking dogshit, I've literally never heard a SKG argument that wasn't just completely oblivious to the current online space or what gaming has devolved into in 2025
