@gamingonlinux killing games that have single player content & can totally be played offline is no problem, the problem is killing games that have a huge portion/totally online and/or we can only buy and/or download DLCs (especially if they enrich single player content) while the game servers are online, plus, it's stupid to not find old games on modern stores, that fact encourages piracy

@gamingonlinux Personally I'd globally legalize:
1. Having a copy of a game on your PC regardless of what platform it was meant for (if you have the right to play it ofc)
2. Any attempt and success at making an online game (which includes singleplayer games these days) work after it was shut down
3. Emulating whatever platform a game was made for
4. Distributing abandonware games for free
5. Tempted to also go for allowing further modding

I'd be fine if it was strictly non-commercial

@gamingonlinux Oh, this reminds me of the importance of multiplayer bots, but even so, i have to agree with this, even thought nowadays I'm not playing AAA games, i dknt have a strong computer.

Thankfully that has only happened to me once (Dragons and Titans). Being late to the whole Steam thing, I started out buying a ton of games, and for a long time I maintained a consistent 50% of my Steam library unplayed.

I also try to play the oldest games first, so I have a few years of backlog. Plus I bought most of the games on sale, so already not the newest when I bought them.

Too bad with Dragons and Titans, of the three MOBAs I have (Dota 2, Awesomenauts and D&T), it was the one I liked the most.

@gamingonlinux utiliser la DGCCRF pour forcer les éditeurs a proposer une option 'private server', self histed, bien sûr, quand ils abandonnent une licence. Brillant ! Je signe ou ?
