I've seen people suggest that when an online-only game shutters its servers, the code for the server-side software should be released to the public AS-IS with no warranty.
Obviously, that's a take from a gamer that isn't familiar with the legal troubles involved with releasing code for public view, but that's kinda where the consumers are at, it seems.
I don't play games with online components, so I don't really have a horse in this race.
