Please. Old games you bought had servers they would contact for updates when you launched it. When those games went final they'd shove a servicepack on their website for about a year, shut down the live update servers and instead run their end-of-life server that basically told players "Hey, update servers shut down now, thanks for playing" and players would have to figure out where they could download the final service pack update with a quick google search.
There is absolutely no need to murder a game once running the live update servers become a burden. You can still find updates for The Sims 1 online and that game is almost 30 years old.
It's all about profit. Forcing you to give up a game means forcing you to buy something else. They also think that licensing prevents piracy which is hilarious.
