Not every game should be preserved for eternity. Sometimes there is an experience that you can only have once, and that is perfectly fine.

I am fine knowing that Ragnarok was a once in a lifetime experience. There are many private servers trying to chase the original feeling, but they have never succeeded at it and will never succeed. I am fine knowing that WoW, FFXIV, Genshin Impact, most gasha shit, or shit like The Crew, are all once in a lifetime experiences offered as temporary live services. Knowing that they will end is part of what makes them unique.

You know how special meteor showers are to watch, right? Imagine if meteor showers happened every day, at every hour. They wouldn't be quite to spectacular to watch. This is essentially what SKG is trying to do.

I am all for forcing live service games to include a warning about their model of operation. But forcing every game to remain playable forever is not something I can behind, and I think it will devalue the experience of these games.

it costs you nothing

You're never going to be able to replicate an experience you had even if the game stays "alive". What you're arguing for is that meteor showers should cease to exist because you saw it once.

No I did not lose. You got 1 million of signatures in a shitty EU initiative, with most of them being invalid because they are from Americans and/or fraudulent. This is not even enough to start the battle.

I shall win the war. And games will remain precious and ephemeral. As they should be.

I completely and fundamentally disagree. A singleplayer game does not have any valid reason to be a "volatile" product you're guaranteed to eventually lose. It doesn't make it more special. It takes more effort to set up a central server and make a singleplayer game rely on it than it does to make a game that doesn't do that.

>>714399405
That's not the source material.

Sunsets happen every day and are always beautiful

>>714402583
But even more beautiful than a sunset is an eclipse precisely because it does not happen all the time

humanity having to come to terms with impermanence of literally everything in a post-internet age has been so funny

get the fuck out

>>714398427 (OP)
you are right, every game should shut down and delete itself after I played and uninstalled it.

>>714398427 (OP)
Meteor showers are not special when you can watch it every 50 years.

>>714398427 (OP)
I agree with the acknowledgement that no game will last forever. However, requiring companies to release the server tools for others to continue those games allow them to transform into something new. Even if the original experience has passed, it can become something else.

>>714398427 (OP)
Do whatever you want with what you bought. If someone wants to play what they bought the should be able to.

I definitely wouldn't last forever in Aqua-sama

Reading your first sentence was enough.

Allow me to retort: the current GaaS model is absolute cancer and should be completely destroyed. It benefits no one, except the higher up CEOs of companies producing online casinos disguised as games.

You can have a GaaS model that has an End of Life plan, as with most commercial softwares, especially ones that require active live support.

In short, you're fucking retarded and don't know what you're talking about.

Sounds like you're one of those lobotomites. Might as well scramble it until you're like the chick from 50 first dates then every day will be special.
