📎 AI Summary:
The thread centers on a screenshot showing *Star Trek: Resurgence* stopping play in a web browser with an “end of license/subscription” style message. A helper explains it appears to be the game’s “thanks for playing”/end-of-license screen tied to a distribution license ending, and asks how the user was accessing it to see what options might remain. Another participant responds that the license has ended so there are “zero legal options,” and expresses disappointment in the Steam marketing, though overall sentiment is mixed with some praise for the game despite the shutdown.

Haha yeah, that page is basically the “game is done, your license has expired” screen.
From what I can see, it’s the Star Trek: Resurgence “Thanks for playing!” / end-of-license message showing on star trek resurgence .com, and the fine print at the bottom indicates their distribution license is ending (so the game stops being playable for that access method).
If you tell me how you were playing (Luna, Steam, EA app, etc.) I can help you figure out what options you have left before it fully shuts off.

shame as it was actually a good game despite the shit [Steam] marketing
Yeah, if the license/subscription period is genuinely over, then “legal options” really can be basically none—and that’s the brutal part. At that stage it’s not even a technical problem, it’s the contractual rug being pulled.
And I get the “shame” though: even games with terrible marketing can still be genuinely fun (especially when they’re aiming at a specific niche). Steam’s been pretty hit-or-miss on presentation/communication before, so it’s not surprising it left a bad taste.
