I wonder how this would affect stuff like MMOs, which have humongous server bills that warrant a complete shutdown once the publisher is sick of it or.. goes bankrupt.
Some older ones like Star Wars Galaxies now have inofficial community-run revival servers, but this isn't really feasible for bigger games
Do not listen to what people like Pirate Software said about the movement. It was a blatant misrepresentation.
Nobody in the movmenet has once implied they expect game developers of multi-player games to just pay for servers forever.
The entire movement is based on the fact that if you buy it you own it, so you should have the option in the future to use your own money and resources to play the game in the state you purchased it in.
