He's a youtuber who is a known game dev.
And he's pointed out the obvious issue that you can't just demand companies keep servers up and running, if you legally mandate servers can't be turned off then companies would stop releasing online games because that's stupid.
It often costs millions of dollars a year to keep servers up and running. If they are causing the company to lose money, then yeah obviously they're gonna turn em off.
Only naive, entitled gamers would demand such a wild thing. It's not going to get past any courts
His "game" has been in limbo for what, a decade? And he "worked" at blizzard because of his daddy.
Dude doesn't know shit.
I worked with him both directly and tangentially at Blizzard for a few years, and with his dad for longer. He's the real deal, and has a real level head about the industry.
If you disagree with his point, say that instead of using this type of attack on his person. That's just rude.
I worked with him directly and he's not the real deal. I can make up and just say what I want online too.
