Developers can and have made this decision on their own even when they've got a publisher, because publishing deals come in all sizes, and online connection requirements that inevitably lead to a game's death are pervasive in the industry right now.
No, not really. You just said it, man. "Publishing deals come in all sizes." Publishing. Publishing. So, it's the publishers who make those decisions. Not developers. That developers must accept them is one thing. But the publishers made the decision.
All sizes meaning that those deals also come with the absence of that decision, leaving it up to the developers.
If developers make those decisions, then they're the publishers.
Are we going to continue going round this circle?
No, because your axiom is false, and I'm not going to argue with that.
It is not false, but if that's what you want to believe, go ahead. Have a nice day.
