I hope they don’t forget about loopholes like: removing all the multiplayer content and replace it with an offline “mini game” (could be as simple as pressing a single button). There, we “updated” our game just before it’s end of life, and it’s now “playable forever”. Or what about CS:2 which simply replaced CS:GO, because Valve didn’t want to release a game with limited content to compete with their older title. The CS:GO version is still playable offline via beta branch, but only offline afaik.
