YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The clock is ticking on the games you love. Ross Scott (creator of the viral “Stop Killing Games” petition) joins Tom Bilyeu and Impact Theory producer Drew to expose why publishers keep pulling the plug on live‑service titles, and what nobody is talking about: the engineering shortcuts, the profit levers, and the legal back‑doors that let billion‑dollar studios ghost entire communities overnight.

Tom puts on his founder hat (25 years, multiple nine‑figure exits) and challenges Ross on regulation, trade‑secret paranoia, server economics, and the EU law that could FORCE devs to leave the keys under the mat.

You’ll learn:

- The hidden business math that decides whether your favorite MMO lives or dies

- How small studios can “end‑of‑life” a game without leaking proprietary code

- Why the EU—not the US—might be gamers’ best shot at digital preservation

- The startling seat‑belt analogy every dev needs to hear before launch
