If it works for you, there’s no reason not to keep using it.

If it looks like an upgrade in performance and simplicity and you think it’s worth swapping, then you could consider it, though personally I’d wait until it’s a bit more mature/proven (maybe it is already idk).

They mentioned the early days when it comes to licensing games to us.

But dont mention that in the early days of multiplayer games it was us moderating our own online communities, not the company selling the game.

I’m unconvinced anyone will really legislate this,

The Eurpean Union sort of has it’s head on when it comes to addressing consumer rights, if they legislate this, then the entirety of europe will likely benefit (even those outside the european union like the UK, examples of this have happened before if im correct, see windows 10 1 year extension for eu).

and if it is, it’ll just lead to that country being scratched off the list of where the game is officially supported.

No it won’t. Maybe if it’s a country with no internet and doesn’t have a population interested in gaming, but any major country like UK, Germany, etc enforcing this would force the hands of game publishers bevause these markets are just too big.

No publisher is going to pull out of the UK for example.

Realistically, we need to stop buying online only games where the servers will eventually go offline, and support those that release open servers.

I agree. Unfortunately most people are unaware or have no backbone so they keep on buying the next “big” game, nevertheless I agree, we need to stop supporting anti-consumer behavior instead of defending it.
