And that's why I'm upset. If they're trashing servers to save money, then odds are the game isn't making near the amount of money they need to pay developers, maintain servers, and then profit later.

It's frightening that they even had to think about cutting servers off to save money. This is where I stop to think, "Should I keep paying for this game? If it dies, then the 80 bucks a year I spent went to what? The trash? If I'm going to pay and play a game, I want to KNOW that it will be there for a very long time. Why? Because, to me it's just a waste of money if I can't play the game when I paid for it.

I buy a console game, and I have it forever. But with an online game, if the company messes up, I can't do anything about getting back on the game to play. It's gone, and trashing servers only makes me think they're losing money, and I don't want to be upset if the game dies, knowing I spent 360+ dollars.
