Better stop making assumptions and start reading. It’s about companies providing an offline patch or tools to host a private server. Not giving up source code or running servers indefinitely. For example “The Crew” had a hidden offline mode which got patched out after lunch. Forza horizon 4 always had an offline mode an will continue to run after the server shut down.

Image buying a car that said it requires connection to the manufactures server to drive. Without a date when this connection or manufacture will be abandon. After 5 years the connection is discontinued to deminish costs and you can’t use that car anymore. Doesn’t it sound a bit scammy for you?

It seems like you need an Twitter account for the answer. https://x.com/LittleToonCat/status/1820990390851231993

I’m getting real tired of the closed internet and elogant musk.

Glad we preserved another game from the flash era.

While maybe not effecting games like this, for all EU citizens, consider taking part of the petition to have companies stop killing paid and free to play games. So companies can’t take down more games where you paid for content. More info here : https://www.stopkillinggames.com/

Avariy was pretty good. Then Adobe bought and killed it. It’s still possible to download it, but a lot of the free stuff, filters and etc are missing because they shut down the servers.
