I'm not too upset about companies shutting down their online infrastructure for a game after 10 years...

What I am upset about is how many games nowadays don't allow for direct connection or self-hosting which renders all multiplayer functionality moot unless someone can hack it in.

I think there should be laws forcing companies to publish the server software, if and when they don't want to run the servers themselves (absolutely understandably as you said)
