The real issue is piracy. 5 years from now would be an excellent time to champion a concern about the servers shutting down.
I don't like the MPAA and RIAA because of their illegal and unethical practices in tracking down supposed pirates. Here's the thing: if you're actually guilty of piracy and you're caught, you should be punished. Let's not pretend that piracy is this amazing act of civil disobedience; it's theft. Back when I was using Napster, had I been caught, I should have been prosecuted and punished. Unless the game industry is taking a play from the MPAA and RIAA and using illegal and unethical practices, though, I can't fault them for attempting to make theft of their product more difficult.
