Essentially:
SKG: "We want video games that we have purchased to remain playable even after the publisher has dropped support for it."
AAA company: "It's not reasonable nor feasible for companies to keep supporting games and their servers forever."
SKG: "Yes, agreed. All we want is that games remain playable after the company has dropped support, by either providing a single-player mode (even if it lacks some features), or a way for third-parties to run the servers at their own cost."
AAA company: "It's just not economically feasible for companies to keep supporting games forever."
SKG: "Yes, we know, and we agree. We are not demanding you to keep supporting your games forever. What we want is being able to keep playing the game AFTER you have dropped support for it."
AAA company: "But it's not possible for companies to keep supporting games forever."
SKG: "WE AGREE! YOU ARE CORRECT! But that's NOT what we want. We are NOT demanding you to keep supporting your games forever. YOU CAN DROP SUPPORT whenever you want. We just want for the game to remain playable in one way or another AFTER you have dropped support."
AAA company: "But it's not possible for companies to keep supporting games forever."
SKG: "Sigh."
