What a joke, i refuse to buy always on DRMd games that can be killed completely for good at any moment, just no.
I find this highly unlikely with BF. Most people move on to the newer versions. It's not uncommon for a small community to still play older games but I am genuinely curios to hear of a game you played or know of this happened to.

@GRiPSViGiL, I think but I'm not sure, that, Tron Evolution had a DRM that now blocks the game to function on PC since Disney didn't renew the authentication servers according to the Wikipedia page.
- GRiPSViGiL5 years agoSeasoned Ace@Player55 So Tron had a 9 year run. Would you think you would want to play BF2042 that long? I played BF2 for 5 years religiously so I get it but I don't think we have seen this happen with a BF game. I used to think the DRM thing was a big deal but it hasn't been the inconvenience I expected when that whole thing started.

@GRiPSViGiL I'm still playing Quake I and that was released 25 years ago. There are still excellent maps made by the community that far exceed what was possible back then.
Games are not meant to have an expiration date. Good games, like good music records get to live on forever.
What companies like EA are doing, infesting everything with "always online" crapware (solely for profit and shoving microtransactions further down our throats) is deeply anti-consumer.
No company should have the right to enforce on you, until when you can play a game you purchased.
I know, I know the insidious thing is that nowadays you don't purchase a copy of the game you purchase a limited license to play the game that can expire at their discretion. Scummy behavior as expected.
This is one of the many reasons why "always online" is [CM - removed] and will forever (until the heat death of the universe) be nothing more than [CM - removed] .
