Would be nice if games for which time-limited licenses were being sold told you upfront so you could choose.

Not sure how you're supposed to know a game has been designed to be remotely deactivated?



GOG.com

The few that require online connection (like purely multiplayer gwent) there is a notice.


If the game requires an internet connection, it's a time-limited license.


And what about games like minecraft, where the requirement for an internet connection was added later, after the game was sold?


Stay on the last internet-free version.

I remember when games were sold and that was it, you didn’t get regular free updates.
