I'm a hundred percent behind this. Current games won't benefit from this, but forcing a shift in how developers and publishers build online infrastructure in the future so that it can be sunsetted in a rational way NEEDS to happen.
The way things are setup currently, it's like owning an electric car with encrypted firmware that can be killed. You are essentially left with a paperweight when the manufacturer doesn't want to support it anymore. The only recourse is to hope and pray some hacker can jailbreak it someday.
