Is there a reason I dont see to why legally console makers can hoard online play functionality? (feddit.org)

Like in a perfect world, we would have a right to run our own servers due to power abuse.

Like imagine offline contents would get ripped out of your hands for older games. The injustice here seems evident to me, especially in the current video game business full of greed and commercialization (like price discrimination).

With that we could also play our emulated games vs other emulators. That would make mario kart so much more valuable as a product to buy as a hard drive disk to emulate it legally, because the game's content is like 80% online play
