This should be illegal, companies should be forced to open-source games (or at least provide the code to people who bought it) if they decide to discontinue it, so people can preserve it on their own.

    It doesn’t matter. Whatever argument you’re making, you’re missing the point of the OP.

    Because the analogy I drew was in line with the OP. And you said you were making a totally different argument. So whatever argument you’re making is irrelevant.

      What?

      My argument directly engaged with the original post that game developers should be forced to open source their software. The analogy you made has nothing to do with open source software, it has to do with payment models…

      Edit: and ops position doesn’t make any claims about payment models…

        The underlying analogy was totally wrong though because it misses the point of why people are so angry about it. The payment model is integral to understanding the entire point of the discussion.

          What?

          You are even more wrong.

          Bogo is a free game. What is wrong with you?

              Ah, so you are a troll who has no intention of engaging in an honest conversation. Got it.
