MODERATORS
1: You've never owned a video game in your life, unless you were the owner of the copyright, you possessed a licensed copy (including physical copies). That has to change before any other real concrete changes can occur.
2: Online video games are a totally different beast over single player games. Besides direct competition with themselves, there has to be a sustained effort to maintain those servers, while also staying beholden to the copyright holders.
As much as we might want to keep games alive for posterity, we have to figure out a process for online games, and that seems like it's gonna be a massive uphill battle.
Do you own the software and firmware in your car?
The navigation system might use Google Maps and requires an internet connection to function. The manufacturer may decide to no longer want to pay for Google's license and therefore disables all software - including software running the ignition, engine management, the speedometer, the center console - on the car with a momentary notice. The car becomes undrivable as a result.
Should this be legal? You didn't own the software after all.
