You should at least have to refund customers when you take away the ability to use a product they purchased.

This is fair for some reasonable time window after purchase. But I think it's okay for things to have a lifespan even if they cost money.
As long as the life span is clearly spelled out when you purchase, so you know that you are actually buying a 10 year subscription, and not a game.
This would be a much preferable law to the one actually proposed.
No. It's not a physical good that is subject to wear and tear. There is no excuse for a single player game to have a lifespan because it has some pointless online verification component.
I think it should be legal to sell something with a pointless online verification component.
