Why Buy Live Service Games If They’d Disappear. To top it all of, most of these games are 60 or 70 dollars at least. (www.gamescordia.com)

No, it's not. Because the sport doesn't disappear when the league is over. If you want to run a league for StarCraft: Brood War, you can do that with a Discord server. If you want to run a league for Hyperscape, the game is fucking gone.

You should really complain about how baseball doesn't have a single player mode.

You really should understand what the actual complaint is.

I disagree with the complaint being valid for every single game in existence.

Then go ahead and fight for your forced obsolescence. I personally prefer games and other creative works that don't arbitrarily delete themselves. Meanwhile, Ubisoft convinces people that it must be this way while they decommission one version of The Crew so that they upsell you on a sequel.

Sure, man. I've just been telling you to stop having fun this whole time, regardless of the problem statement in title of the article we're discussing. I think we're done here.
