and like, one of the options would be for live service games to say “we are planning to operate for {number} of years” and people would know to spend their money accordingly

PoE is pretty cool. Eve must be live service. Neither can be bought and hence would likely be unaffected. With regard to PoE you could make an argument for the contrary, to be fair.
I can. The value of path of exile is in part it’s economy. It is not meant as a single player game for the average player. You drop loot for everyone and need your loot which dropped for everyone else.

Eh, I played Diablo and Diablo 2. You can’t tell me they wouldn’t be better if I ran a dedicated server. With mods. Heh

Having anything dedicated is opposed to that.
Which is certainly why it’d be a good thing to do
Yes, that’s about hopes
