But piracy won’t make the game work if it needs to connect to an online server/service that is no longer active.

Or you do the hitman approach:

Make your own fucking servers

....Which is one of the solutions proposed by SKG. That people are allowed to make their own servers.

People have been sued for making their own servers for a dead game.

Absolutely something that people should be angry over. They're basically just abusing intellectual property laws that were made for a very different kind of product.

Idk about your country. In mine, if that happens, or say you find someone’s cash on the ground, legally you’re supposed to go to the police and give it to them.

After that they wait for two years, if no one has claimed it, then and only then you can come back and claim it since you found it and it seemingly belonged to no one, so now it’s yours.

In practice it doesn’t happen. But legally yes, if you found what someone lost/left in the street and take it, it’s stealing
