If games have to be playable in perpetuity, then you can't buy a game that isn't playable in perpetuity.

But what is also unreasonable is needless, always online DRM that shuts down one day.

There are lots of video games without forced online DRM, and video games aren't a necessity. You can simply stop buying games from these services and let people who don't care about such things continue to buy them.
