When I buy a product, I expect it to continue to work unless I break it myself.

What about Free to Play games? Can they be shutdown?

I have no authority over anything, so yes, they can. What I'd like to see is an option to buy an offline copy of the game and any add-ons I bought, but no one does that. What Stop Killing Games is looking for is for the server to be made available after the game's end of life so that you can continue to use anything you paid for.
