If I buy something I should have the choice whether I want to preserve it or not.

There are people that collect bread tabs, I toss them but I was still enriched learning from those that do.

well you don't buy a server, you basically buy a key to accessing the server. It's no so different from a website in that regard and websites also shut down with no notice.

it's just that web pages are easier to backup than game servers.
