It's early stages and buggy, but it's on its way. All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable.

What do you believe the cost to Sony is for community-run servers?

    All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable.

    In answer to your question, zero, of course.

    The above statement is the one I have an issue with.

    If it costs them nothing, then what does the cost of servers have to do with anything? If someone else wants to run servers at their own expense, that's their prerogative. Why would you have an issue with a bad game remaining playable? That's valuable history that everyone can learn from.

    Your claim that all games deserve to remain playable is incorrect. If maintaining a game places the developer or publisher in a financial deficit, then the game does not merit continued operation.

    The fact that third parties find ways to keep such a game running is irrelevant; it has no bearing on whether the game inherently deserves preservation.

    Your position relies on an unsupported opinion and appeals to users’ emotions rather than presenting a substantive argument. As stated, it is an empty assertion without meaningful justification.
