That analogy isn’t even a little bit bizarre.

Given the game’s heavy reliance on offline capabilities during the prolog or when having trouble connecting, it’s very spot on. Because your pinball machine’s extended warranty expired and it is no longer being produced or soled, doesn’t mean the manufacture can come by and fucking disable it.
