    I don’t think “killing all live servoce games” would even be bad at this point. When I ran dedicated servers back in the day that was much better.

      and like, one of the options would be for live service games to say “we are planning to operate for {number} of years” and people would know to spend their money accordingly

      it would be transparent and informative and people would be empowered to make their own decisions

        I wish they dropped the server code for us all to see what metrics etc they’ve been digging for all these years…

      Dunno if you’ve noticed - in today’s world politicians and businessmen want the server side to be precious magic.

      Having anything dedicated is opposed to that.
