    But over time, the publisher started taking the servers offline for the older sports games, so if you wanted to compete then the only option was to play a newer title.

    I’m not saying that’s inherently evil

    As someone who remembers when games used to ship with the server code so you could host your own multiplayer, I am saying it’s inherently evil!

      Well damn, I remember that too and it’s a good point. You changed my mind, shutting down the only servers is shitty and evil and game companies should go back to allowing community servers.
