and like, one of the options would be for live service games to say “we are planning to operate for {number} of years” and people would know to spend their money accordingly
it would be transparent and informative and people would be empowered to make their own decisions
PoE is pretty cool. Eve must be live service. Neither can be bought and hence would likely be unaffected. With regard to PoE you could make an argument for the contrary, to be fair.
I don’t think “killing all live servoce games” would even be bad at this point. When I ran dedicated servers back in the day that was much better.

I wish they dropped the server code for us all to see what metrics etc they’ve been digging for all these years…

Battlefield and CoD on the other hand…
Eh, I played Diablo and Diablo 2. You can’t tell me they wouldn’t be better if I ran a dedicated server. With mods. Heh
Dunno if you’ve noticed - in today’s world politicians and businessmen want the server side to be precious magic.
Having anything dedicated is opposed to that.
Which is certainly why it’d be a good thing to do
Yes, that’s about hopes
