@chinny22,
MMO's usually are either subscription-based or free, and those are completely irrelevant to the topic.
The ones you buy as one-time-purchase from store, must have at least expiration date on them. But they could also share their testing server, that probably has a map of single area with bunch of debugging items around. Let the community take it over, if they want. (And if there is no such "test server", i would question the developers team's expertise.)
VW doesn't restrict you to build/3d print your own pieces to your 74 beetle. Imagine that your 74 beetle required you to connect landline phone cable to it once per month or i wont start. And then VW closed that phone nr., and didn't remove the once-per-month check from your 74 beetle, and denies community to restore the phone nr service on their own.
Publishers actively make it harder for community to take over the support.
I don't think you've understood at all what this initiative is about.
