If this were the case, wouldn't anyone just be able to successfully sue essentially any MMORPG that went under?



Yes. The OP is behaving childishly and a prime example of entitlement in gamer culture.


games are enjoyment and people are emotionally invested in things they enjoy, most people don't "get" it i think since every other form of media isn't as commoditized as games(yet). i wonder what kinda entitlement claims will be flying around in the future when disney yanks all their content to their streaming service and puts a nice HBO sized paywall around it.

What happens when amazon kills the last book publisher and then decides to dynamically increase the price of series that people like to read - the next GRRM book is coming out! but it's only on amazon kindle and it's a 100 bucks! chapters are streamed to your device in real time so no taking notes there you pesky pirate.

this is only the beginning, i can see why people are having knee jerk reactions to it
