Since it’s relevant, this vid by LGR, shows why a lot of people are afraid of Fallout 76′s “Always Online” requirement.

IE, what happens when the servers go off and the company stops supporting it? That’s gonna be a nightmare for game preservation to be sure, and honestly I think that any game company that lets a game die like this should have it forcibly put into the public domain as a punishment.

And, TBH, this is also why I’m kinda afraid of the idea of “streaming” games on the “cloud,” because it could be a similar situation on a much larger scale; on a much more insidious creep…
