We've all been there right? You paid for a game, it required an active internet connection and a couple of years later the publisher decided they're done with it and shut it down leaving you with a broken game. Annoying.
No, not really. You just said it, man. “Publishing deals come in all sizes.” Publishing. Publishing. So, it’s the publishers who make those decisions. Not developers. That developers must accept them is one thing. But the publishers made the decision.

All sizes meaning that those deals also come with the absence of that decision, leaving it up to the developers.
If developers make those decisions, then they’re the publishers.
Are we going to continue going round this circle?
No, because your axiom is false, and I’m not going to argue with that.
It is not false, but if that’s what you want to believe, go ahead. Have a nice day.
