Small note: For the end of life. They don’t have to release all server binaries. Just the API documentation and some binaries (without the libraries that they can’t share) would be more than enough. (Basically extremely minimal additional work for the developer)

Alternatively, there should be visible disclaimer next to the price (We promise the game is playable until xxx). So the consumer would be informed that what they are “buying” is temporary.

Leaving this here for other people who maybe could get a bad impression about putting extra work for developers that could discriminate against indies.

My guess is that bigotry is fairly common in general. I really say that there is somehow less of it in the FOSS space.

It’s facinating to see, that only Lichtenstein seems to have to cross 2 countries to reach the ocean for trading.
