The server stay online for downloading game. I don’t really get it. If you close only the store, but keep the server for downloading online, do they safe like that so much money?
If they have dedicated servers per region that handle payment processing, and they would need to be upgraded in order to be compatible with currently supported OSes, yes. Or if just maintenance costs for keeping them online are high enough.
Or if they have to pay an annual fee to continue selling (but not distributing) the games.
Or if the annual base costs for the payment provider exceed their revenue.
