afe66: Are standalone games dead. (ones not requiring/demanding online play).


Are online games also just games on death row waiting for the servers to be unplugged? How long do the servers stay online for any game, there is no such thing as buying a game for life, you buy a license to use until somebody else decides it isn't worth running any more.
