When games that are live service, or rely heavily on servers get cut off, they should at the very least release the server code so others can continue hosting it.

Stop being afraid of open source and embrace it. Too many games will be lost to greed.

Duelyst is a wonderful recent example of how to do it right.

@gamingonlinux games aren’t solely a business, games are works of art but sadly publishers and devs are run by legal and financial people who refuse to see this. Much like the history of cinema is preserved in film archives the history of games deserves to be preserved in similar archives. And there needs to be regulation regarding the open sourcing of games that are no longer sold simply for preservation purposes.
