70% of games with online requirements are doomed, according to Stop Killing Games survey
Stop Killing Games are a self-described consumer movement who are aggrieved about all the games with online requirement…
70% of games with online requirements are shit anyways, so who cares.
All art should be preserved, even if it's bad
I agree with both statements.
These type of videogames (and most types to be fair) are not art, only consumer products.

Not doomed for those selling them.
People will just buy the next thing.
I stopped buying games when Call of Duty decided to no longer allow you to host your own. That was mtast game purchase, I refuse to buy any more. Turns out I have more time for other stuff now.
killer queen black still pisses me off. It was still 100% playable without the servers (if you had people to play with), yet they killed all online functions entirely and delisted the game so you can't even buy it as a couch play game anymore.
It's pathetic that EU citizens need a USAmerican to try and rally us to protect our property. Absolute joke.
I think it's more an American needs your help cause there is not a chance in America to do it as the deck is too much stacked against Americans.
70% seems super low, I'd say 100%. Given enough time, if the online component is not released or emulated, that portion of the game that requires it WILL die. It is inevitable.
wait are you telling me that people can't play all games at the same time all day forever? that calls into question what business people always know to be true, which is that resources are always available and unlimited. surely they can't be mistaken. you don't become a CEO without being a genius.
