It doesn’t really screw them over much. They made lots of money before they started doing this BS. They’ll make lots of money after they start complying with it. It’s just them being dumb.
An older game may not sell as well as a new one but a dead game doesn’t sell anything.
Dead games don’t keep players hooked on it. Players who are playing an old game, are not buying new games. If you kill the old game, the players are forced to buy your new game.
I think that’s their intention.
I’m a retro gamer. Old games are not dead games unless it’s no longer possible to play them.
Look at Nintendo. They’re still selling the VS arcade version of SMB1 from 1986!
Also there’s the obvious: having all players validate against a service kills piracy and makes their usage trackable, but after a while the subscription profits shrink as players move on, and now the company is only getting 10x the maintenance costs covered by subscriptions.
Yeah, no. Why would i pay anything for a more than 10 years old game that was dropped by the developers long ago? They make the main money in the first few months anyway, the rest in the following two years.
