It's so random, too. Just... why?! The other way around, sure, after all the PC player base is the big fish. But eh?

"Term of service"? Shmerms of shmervice. Fuck all the way off, there's a hundred other games that we can be playing.

Hypetrain game + publisher shenanigans... Pretty sure I've heard this one before.

Imagine having a golden goose and wanting to make pâté out of it. Sure does make me want to buy Ghost of Tsushima when it comes out, totally.

DOWN WITH SNOY!

It's no accident that many of these games are releasing their anti-features only after millions have purchased them and missed their return window.

EA did the same recently with Kernel anti-cheat in games they haven't serviced in years, games that actively cannibalise their latest titles!

Less players means less server running costs. Helldivers 2 might turn back or end up with this disastrous policy (for consumers) but until we have regulations on this, many companies will see the benefit of rugpulling software.

This doesn’t concern me. But holy hell, I’m getting hard Uplay flashbacks.
