Yes, and if you don’t like it you don’t have to buy them. It’s why I prefer not to use Steam.

If games have to be playable in perpetuity, then you can’t buy a game that isn’t playable in perpetuity.
But what is also unreasonable is needless, always online DRM that shuts down one day.
There are lots of video games without forced online DRM, and video games aren’t a necessity. You can simply stop buying games from these services and let people who don’t care about such things continue to buy them.
So you want to legally require game companies to “preserve history” in perpetuity, unlike every other kind of company in existence?

The second sentence isn’t true.
What SKG does is mandate that your purchased product be technically possible to be usable in perpetuity, or refund the cost of it.
That’s a ridiculous requirement. If you want to buy games that are playable in perpetuity, buy games that are playable in perpetuity.
But the whole market isn’t shitty rip offs.
You don’t need to be protected from video game sales, you need to be protected from fraudulent game sales, that’s it.
If you want to buy a game that runs on proprietary servers that will shutdown one day, you should be allowed to do that.

The borg dystopia is the best dystopia.
Detain and arrest are the same thing. If you aren’t under arrest, then you’re free to leave.
They don’t think you have disposable income. They don’t care about you if you don’t.
Something should haunt him. without ignoring everything else, Donny’s opponents should hammer on one thing, maybe this, until he apologizes and fires people involved.
We need to prove to the world that he’s not allowed to behave badly without having to address it.
Advice.? Red green is full of it.
The duct tape Council would like to remind you all solutions are temporary.
Everyone who approved and delivered this argument should go to prison.

Dutch Bro’s has some rule that the staff has to flirt with the customers. Creeps me out.
That’s what it’s about.
He’s got his eye on Keiko all these years.
There are also video games in libraries, and there are books in libraries with components that are unusable these days. Nobody is required by law to support these components in perpetuity. Nor is any publishing company required by law to maintain support for a book in perpetuity in any way.
Nor is anybody required by law to help you fix your classic car. People with classic cars spend tons of money to find spare parts or even get them manufactured. This is despite the fact that cars are much more of a necessity than video games.
Likewise, if you paid a video game to keep their servers open, or paid them for their source code, they’d give it to you. If you paid a smart person to reverse engineer the network protocol and write an equivalent server, you’d have your part.
