Should be a "License To Access" and when that is revoked, they should be mandated to have a contingency in place to provide you with a copy that can be downloaded, kept and accessed without DRM. Just make it a blanket rule, even if serves are required and inaccessible, maybe I like browsing the menus? lol
Another approach would be some sort of permanently embedded, irrevocable signature for each digital copy and your code gives you actual ownership of that single copy akin to a Non-Fungible Token. Unlike a license to a fungible copy, you have literal ownership of a non-fungible one. How that'd be implemented though would be a matter for smarter people then me.. (or "I"? See....)
And just as general good practice, they should open up the game so that the community can run their own servers if they're gonna abandon them anyway.
