Yeah, I’ve stopped buying those games too. No time or attention from me unless that game can survive the situation where the server at the other end goes down. This does create a lot of grey areas though. Does Hitman count? You can technically finish the whole story mode, but the progression and replay unlocks are all stuck behind a server authentication. How about fighting games? You can play the entire competitive game locally, forever, but once the server is gone, you’ll never be able to play online again except with subpar solutions like Parsec. The way I’ve drawn my line in the sand, and I’m free to redraw it, is that Hitman is unacceptable, and the state of fighting games right now (we’ll see what happens with Multiversus and Project L) is begrudgingly acceptable.
