Ross Scott talking about The Crew's future server shutdown making the game unplayable for people who bought it or received it for free. He wants to see if a lawsuit is possible because of how fast technology is outpacing the law and needs help with who to contact.

Killing unnecessary always online horseshit would be a huge benefit by itself.

Companies wouldn't stop making multiplayer games. There's too much money.

But MMOs can be fun?

Also that includes any competitive MP FPS.

That's not unnecessary?

And it's not remotely possible that even one game would not exist as a result of laws requiring companies provide the capability to continue to play them when they stop hosting. The burden is less than negligible compared to the revenue those games provide.
