🚨Gamers Suing To Stop Online Game Shutdowns🚨

🚨Gamers Suing To Stop Online Game Shutdowns🚨

1K View2024-04-06
Gamers are seeking legal recourse to prevent developers from rendering online games unplayable. This practice is being viewed as an infringement on consumer rights and the preservation of media.
**__Allegedly...in my opinion__**:
While we are purchasing licenses, and we should all be aware of that by now, the point is that there is no reason developers can't provide support to the communities they claim to love and care about and most importantly, that paid their bills.
The "games as a service" model allows developers to essentially steal from consumers without any legal recourse or liability for the essential theft of goods from a consumer.
It would be like buying a computer but the store you bought it from ended their partnership with the brand and attempted the take your computer away. I think we can all agree thats not how things work. So, why should it be any different when a developer decides to end support for a game?
It shouldnt be.
The gaming community stands on support. Whether you're a AAA or indie developer, a content creator or a player, this is an industry we've all built, and when it comes time to sunset a beloved title, all we ask in return for our millions of dollars and millions of combined hours is a private, community made server where we can continue to enjoy our favorite games.

if it's a paid game, it should not be taken away and live service games that has no online element to it should not be live service games.

Apex Legends Mobile Closure (Sunsetting? Lmao)
Alright, alright, alright, we definitely did NOT see this coming lmao xd Jokes aside, We saw this miles away. The dwindling community and player count signifies a lot. How easy it is to climb up ranks because there is literally no other people besides bots on ranked, the predatorious nature of the monetization and how hard it is to get into for old devices kinda makes this game low on the player count. EA also said they are closing the game due to "quality, quantity and cadence concerns", but we all know that they don't get enough money out of it to profit.

Unity's oops moment: from 'show us the money' to 'sorry, our bad!'
How to make developers you dislike lose money and go bankrupt? In mid-September, the game engine company Unity came up with a method: download their games, download them repeatedly. Sounds absurd, right? The more installations and downloads you get, it should typically mean more players liking your game. But Unity, the leading game engine company, has turned this joyful occurrence into a potentially terrifying bill.

Is 2024 the year that gamers finally turn their backs on live service games?
If you’re a modern gamer who plays anything beyond single-player, offline-only games, you’ve probably experienced this stress before: The end of the month is approaching, and suddenly you panic as you realize there’s something you forgot. The battle pass! It’s about to expire, and you haven’t finished leveling it up! You paid for the premium track, and you haven’t even unlocked everything on it. The game could be anything. Maybe it’s
