I just expect a popup in the game which says something like "Could not connect to server, some multiplayer features will be unavailable. Continue offline?"

Or the ability to host community servers like the olden days when a game is sunsetted.

All they need to do is open source the server and game so users can run their own server and/or mod the game to run offline.

It always feels like a case of "We are done making money off of this game, therefor no one can play it."
