Built a userscript that checks the publisher on Steam and GOG game pages against the Stop Killing Games Dead Game List. If the publisher has shut down always-online titles before, you get an amber banner with the reason.

Currently flags 16 publishers: Ubisoft, EA, Microsoft/Activision, Warner Bros, Bandai Namco, Sony, Square Enix, 2K, NCSoft, SEGA, Capcom, Rovio, Gameloft, NetEase, Nexon, Atari.

Open source, no tracking, dismissible banner.

So the same thing with physical, the shop could be told to stop selling and distributing it.

Also don't gog usually only stop sales rather than distribution from existing purchases?
