I think "in the slightest" may be a bit of an exaggeration. Not every game with a required server connection has been resurrected. And as this problem continues

  I play Overwatch with my sons and not only can you not run a personal server, the game frequently has fundamental mechanic changes for certain characters (and all characters in this Tuesday’s update). The Overwatch of a year ago is a very different game than is now or will be a year from now. If someone was to provide an Open Overwatch server, I don’t even know what it would look like at this point since game clients aren’t available for particular versions (maybe on PC, but not console). When Microsoft is done with Overwatch it’ll be gone.

    I actually didn't count live service games like Overwatch in this category, to be honest. Overwatch is deliberately designed as an ever evolving service instead of a product you purchase. With games like these, there is no way to ever archive them, since there is no canonical state in which the game remains for any sensible amount of time. I understand that this is a cause of frustration and that there's a lot of issues with this but I'd keep those separate from one-time-purchase products which fortunately is still what games mostly are [...for now].

  You're right, that was definitely an exaggeration on my end.
