This should be illegal, companies should be forced to open-source games (or at least provide the code to people who bought it) if they decide to discontinue it, so people can preserve it on their own.

That's why for the game I develop, players can request a copy of their save file and we have a singleplayer mode you can download and host yourself.

It's not the most convenient thing, but players use it, and it's future-proof!
