Won't help you in a case like Destiny 2, where all the content is hosted online by Bungie and they decided to completely remove 1/2 of the original base game plus the first few expansions.
Easy, keep your money and buy games from devs who don't suck.
That only works after you've found out the developer is a scumbag though
That only works until stop killing games is passed and forces game devs to release the code for running servers for the games yourselves after the official server(s) close down. Like how City of Heroes/Villians works now.
Then don't buy a game until it is cracked if it has DRM?
When Destiny 2 came out in 2017, the conventional wisdom was that Bungie did not suck. Destiny 1 came out in 2014 and is still fully playable.
It wasn't until 2020 that Bungie decided to start screwing everyone over with D2. Ironically, 1 year after ending their partnership with Activision.
Of all the various problems Destiny had, it looks like Bungie was the source and not big, bad Activision.
