we already have examples of this problem kind of, specially in vr multiplayer titles, cuz they are a niche withing a niche except a few popular ones that always have players. I'm talking about Space Junkies, this game is shutting down this month, is not old at all yet is being canned, years will pass before its legally abandonaware but I argue it will be soon, the moment they pull the plug this game becomes completely unplayable and is lost forever, lots of games with situations like this one are being lost forever consistently with 0 ways to recover them once they are shut down. I hate this part of the new age of gaming.
