As much as I think it's a shitty move, they warned about it for long enough, and they can't be expected to maintain a deprecated login system indefinitely.
I don't know if I migrated my account though, but since I only play on self hosted servers I don't care, worst case scenario I'll crack it to not need a login and be done with it.
Just nix the login servers and the problem is solved. Go back to that whole era of "When you buy it, it's yours forever" that we seem to have lost. Anti piracy needs to get more creative than just robbing paying customers of their product.
don't need any future updates, the game was fine when I bought it. I didn't buy the game from Microsoft, so I don't see why they are trying to glean information off a purchase I made 13 years ago.
