Another live service game crashes as Sony switches off servers for PS5 exclusive Destruction AllStars
Sony has shut down the multiplayer services for the PS5 exclusive game Destruction AllStars, with no plans to restore them.

This closure is part of a broader trend of live service games being taken offline, raising concerns about consumer rights and the longevity of digital games.
