Is it right to push more gambling based micro transactions in a game that lacks actual support?
If this were any other company people would be raging
If this were any other company, I'd be saying the same thing. Nintendo shuts down shit left and right; most of them are mods for games that the only way to use the mods is via emulation. And it's a lot easier to pirate a game for that than it is to dump one you own legitimately.
It's certainly within their right to protect their shit. The ethics and morality of what that shit happens to be is irrelevant to the copyright discussion.
Also: TF2 is still supported... It still receives regular updates. It had one on the 9th.
Those “updates” are pitiful. As far as I understand the vast majority of update content is still being supplied by the community. The game is still flooded by hackers with no word on when that will be addressed if ever.
