    If you are referring to blizzard and private servers 9 years ago, you might mean classic servers but blizzard still sends out legal cease and desists to private server owners. You still cannot host a private server on american soil without blizzard stopping you. If thats not what you meant then thats my bad though.

    I also fully expect ubisoft to release “the crew remastered” at some point too, once its clear they can make a profit off doing so, just like blizzard did.

      I mean they started shutting it down 9 years ago, it isn’t new, so it isn’t really news now

      Point was, this is about making it so they don’t have the option to do this anymore, with the legal system.

        I dont think its fair that is imposed on creators of video games. Is there some clause where this only applies to the developers we all dont like? I think its too much to mandate, although making voices heard about this is important in influencing developers to choose to not kill their games. I think a law is too far.
