Yes, as a society we can collectively decide what companies should and shouldn't do. It's called living in a society with rules and regulations.

> Every single games company faced with this issue is now going to change the terms of service to note that the $70 "includes free two year subscription, paid up front!", and if the lawyers get pissy about that they'll sell two versions: one that is $0, but doesnt work until you sign up for the $70 per month subscription.

So if you make it illegal for companies to lie and say they are selling you a game, only to then take it away, they will instead... be honest and tell you how long the game will be supported? Great!

It won’t be a lie it will be a contract. It will be the opposite of a lie. You will then have to decide if you want to spend $70 on a game that you an are only guaranteed to get a year out of. Maybe you won’t. But at least we’ll be spared your entitled tantrums.
