Or laws they have to make devices have a open API before shutting down servers.
This reminds me of how Google handled the stadia shutdown. Now many controllers have got a second life thanks to the option to enable bluetooth.
Still a limited time window for you to update the firmware before they got bricked.
They added another year to the window, in case you see one at the resale shop.

That will never work either. They'll just transfer it to a subsidiary towards the end and then shut down the company. Then there's no one to enforce the law on.
