I think you are getting confused about how RL works. The continuing payments are decryptors and the rocket pass - this is the "continuing service" that frankly I am not talking about getting a refund on, I got my money for exactly what they promised. The initial price of rocket league is what I am talking about - and yes, that's where I believe that the contract of violations were broken. If you change your car's firmware 5 years after its released so it behaves in a way that I cant use it as I have always used it, I might have changed my purchase decision - and in the car example I usually get to accept or decline the change - I cant (obviously) because this has a service component.

Was there any promise (contractual obligation) to keep RL servers working for some years?

  Give me a break. This is absolutely implied. Else what is the point of investing gaming time in the service developing your identity and game item inventory?

    If this were the case, wouldn't anyone just be able to successfully sue essentially any MMORPG that went under?

      Yes. The OP is behaving childishly and a prime example of entitlement in gamer culture.

        games are enjoyment and people are emotionally invested in things they enjoy, most people don't "get" it i think since every other form of media isn't as commoditized as games(yet). i wonder what kinda entitlement claims will be flying around in the future when disney yanks all their content to their streaming service and puts a nice HBO sized paywall around it. What happens when amazon kills the last book publisher and then decides to dynamically increase the price of series that people like to read - the next GRRM book is coming out! but it's only on amazon kindle and it's a 100 bucks! chapters are streamed to your device in real time so no taking notes there you pesky pirate. this is only the beginning, i can see why people are having knee jerk reactions to it
