Yeah, if they want to claim digital piracy is theft, then them doing this stuff is just as they described
I'm not sure who expected an online game to exist forever. Not the first time the lights have been shut off like this.
Everything needed to run the game online exists player side. There are many games where people run their own servers because of this, even in WoW. They are literally taking things to disable this ability from what they purchased.
It's also not some unknown black magic to make online games exist forever. We know how to do it.
