The age of DRM means that they can now "unlaunch" the game and force you into a reimbursement while giving up the game. Why? What if someone liked it and wanted to keep playing? is this an online only game? This is just sad.

edit: this is a good time to remind people, if you live in the EU, please support the "Stop Killing Games" initiative, it has just past a third of the required signatures, and has 10 months to go still:

So ? We use to have dedicated servers for online only game. There is no technological barrier to continue doing that.

No. No agreeing. Only bitching.
