    Nah fuck that, that’s not a deterrent and businesses will just see that as the cost of doing business. They should be forced to refund everyone for the entire game no questions asked. There was no disclaimer when purchasing this game that says “we may completely disable this game and render it useless, even single player, on short notice at any time.” What are you supposed to do, buy the game, then read the terms of service and maybe interpret it as them having the ability to do that and then return the game? Absolute BS.

    I don’t think any reasonable consumer would purchase a game if they knew it could be made completely unplayable in the next 3 months. Which is exactly what happened here. It was still on sale in December and was shut down in March…

    This puts undue hardship on the consumer to make sure they’re not getting ripped off and there’s not even a clear way to be able to do that. This is the exact situation regulations are for.
