This should be illegal, companies should be forced to open-source games (or at least provide the code to people who bought it) if they decide to discontinue it, so people can preserve it on their own.

    @Kushan so you’re saying they should be able to take your money and then destroy what you bought with out any sort of warning or compensation right? I strongly disagree with you if that’s what you’re saying.

      This is more like if it was successfully sold at auction, and THEN banksy destroyed it after taking the money.

      No no, not at all - I agree with you, if you sell something to someone you shouldn’t be able to just take it back arbitrarily.

      However, OP is talking about forcing companies to open source something they created - and while I love open source and am a big supporter of it, I don’t think that’s necessarily right either.
