This is why I will never buy an online game only. If I can't own what I buy, I don't want it.

“The game’s will still remain”

Amazing. The blogger actually wrote it like that.

Well, I’m glad the game had a will. Good estate planning is essential.

...You still own the games. All they're doing is getting rid of the servers letting you play the online multiplayer. You can still play single player or LAN if supported.

We need an apostrophe non-proliferation treaty or something. They’ve gotten completely out of control, with so many people today automatically placing an apostrophe before the “s” in every plural word. My number one grammar pet peeve.

I sometimes do that when typing off an android phone. It seems to want to make me seem more stupid than I was born to be.

The author may have written his article that way.

Copy that! I'll play CIV3 at least until I win a Conquest victory on a huge map (I always run out of turns).
I only have vanilla...

Back in the day, it was called “the grocer’s apostrophe.”
