No. They can't prey on people with "micro"-transactions and then ask for money to get a game that should have been playable offline anyway. That's abusing the live service, free-to-play model for as long as it benefits them and then also asking for the price of a game afterwards. Let's not let them set a precedent here.

    The precedent is that their live service game is now preserved in a way few others are doing. Buying the game shows that there's money to be made doing this, meaning others might have an incentive to preserve their shuttered live services, too.
