One persons historical piece is another's bit of oppression, using mount Rushmore is a great example of this. I'm pointing out that I find it impossible to agree on what's historical as a country when it comes to things like that. I literally never touched dark souls the entire time its been popular, its not historical for me.

Then theres the fact that you can't really delete anything from the internet. Sure online games can be "disconnected" but even the crew has a private server going live this year. WoW did the same thing and eventually the company started supporting their old games again. Funny thing about that, they didnt have the old code anymore and had to rewrite it.

I would like the same result as you would, I just don't want laws to force it that way. I think its already changing and its unnecessary to regulate. This might not be the case in this instance but regulations tend to be easier to handle by larger companies as well, and I wouldnt want to unduly stress small development teams. Art should largely be unrestricted.
