We've all been there right? You paid for a game, it required an active internet connection and a couple of years later the publisher decided they're done with it and shut it down leaving you with a broken game.

I actually haven't been there, because I correctly never bought a single player game that requires an internet connection.

i absolutely support the idea of banning internet connectivity for single player games though.

Now that you say it like that, why do purely singleplayer games need internet connectivity at all beside DRM and shovong DLCs down peoples throats
