You massively fail to see the point, and that after two years and four months.

That sentence is ridiculous! You can cite the discontinued purchasability as an argument, but not as a reason to drop the whole copyright instantly.
It's about the obsolescence. Video games should have a shorter copyright period (with renewal clauses, though), but they don't want to admit that new technologies do have shorter cycles. And I understand when one says that you can't discriminate between intellectual property, and thus all intellectual property has to have the same amount of protection. It's something to talk about, but they don't want to talk (and why should they want?).
Here, we have a case of pointless thread resurrection, so:
Closed.
But don't get me wrong: If you want to talk about what you said, you are welcome to open a new thread; you just hit the wrong place.
