       the fiasco with live service games is actually part of a much wider problem in the software industry, of software with centralized proprietary servers, developed as speculative investments, and if it turns out to not be profitable enough you cut the losses. sure game publishers were even greedier than big web companies by requiring you to pay for your client even if the service gets shut down, but even if that practice is banned this is a bigger problem.
