Message: [QUOTE="SpcDaicon, post: 213373, member: 134388"] Unfortunetly "as-a-servicefication" in inevitable because and it is not only happening with video games but anything that have a shred of internet connectivity. The genie is out of the bottle now. Companies just realized they can profit more by slowly milking the consumer than charging a one-time purchase (take Microsof Office for exemple). Realistically speaking, they have zero reasons to give prior notice or even allow people to backup their games. You don't even own the games, you just own the licence to use them and if the service is no more, your licence is pretty much useless. Companies are not your friends no matter how "ethical" and "pro-consumer" they parade themselves to be and when push comes to shove, they will pull the rug beneath you. [/QUOTE]
