This is great to see, and as long as it's up to companies whether to do this we need to encourage that behavior... but it also shouldn't be up to companies' whims whether to do this or not. It should be legally required for end-of-support devices and software to release whatever source code or changes are necessary to either operate the device/software independent of a server, or run the server ourselves.

    Precisely, which will cut down on e-waste and consumer costs as well. If industry says that reduces profit bc people are still using their current models, then they need to be better and more creative as businesses to deliver what people want, and not shoving them toward a new purchase they don't need/can't afford.
