They are notifying you in advance. It is highly impractical to expect a company to keep their servers online forever. I got no notification on my Wii U as such....so they are not notifying me ...I was just kinda of lucky to have come across this news on the net with still ample of time left. Its also highly impractical for a consumer to pay so much for a game and still not be able to own the game and only use license for few years before these company close them.....so only practical way I see now is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can easily do that with all your digital games if they want. PT was a free demo and removing it was also a shitty move by Konami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how software works and its not restricted to just games. It is the same with any other software as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty or not, my point is that publishers can do that with purchased games as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, they can claim that they are not liable to keep the servers up in T&C and EULA, but it still remains a negative move on their end, unless they are filing for bankruptcy. In the eyes of the law, even losing access to digital games due to company's decision is your fault. This is because, you willingly, with a sound mind and without coercion accepted the terms and conditions of the contract (EULA). The right originally lies with the content creator (game dev/publisher). It's up to them if they want to sell. They set the terms and you (meaning everyone) accepted. The only negative they can face is bad publicity. But even in this case, I see more bad publicity for other games micro-transactions than from Nintendo's fans. Also, regarding piracy, everyone will have different opinions. Some will pirate everything (even what they have not purchased). Some will pirate what they lose access to. Some will not pirate games , but will pirate TV Shows and music. Some will not pirate at all. The best way I found is to just ignore it and let others do what they want.
