I haven't seen a single instance of disrespect -- just justified frustration for the outage and lack of communication. There seem to be a lot of frustrated Fly.io customers and a vocal number of Fly.io fans.

I would love to play a turn-based strategy like Rome Total War using this. Games like that are perfect for 20 minute chunks of gameplay on a bus/train, in the airport, waiting somewhere.

The better analogy is: when you buy a book, do you expect you can read it again in ten years? People who bought 1st pressings of Beatles albums 60 years ago can still play them with their grandkids. I can still play old SNES with my siblings at Christmas. But imagine a 2019 being unplayable in 2029. It's reasonable to be concerned.

> I believe we do need a law / regulation which disallows companies to use profits from one business to subsidize completely unrelated business while undercutting economics of the second one.

How would we distinguish _unrelated_ businesses? Would all media be forced to charge a subscription? It looks like an advertising business that subsidizes a journalism business.
