Please tell me how they are in violation of Consumer Protection Laws, referring to the exact statute they are in violation of.

Yes, I can guarantee it. Like I said, look up how software licensing works in the US.

I'm 100% certain they didn't violate any laws, what specific law would they have possibly violated? They are under no legal obligation to keep any part of the game functioning how it was the past year. No developer is. For example Chromehounds was an x360 game from awhile back. There is like a 1hr campaign offline, then you join the online war. That's the entire premise. Few years back they closed the online servers. As in 99% of the content is gone. The achievements are now literally impossible to obtain. You can still buy a copy at Gamestop or on XBL. Still advertises the online mode that doesn't exist on the box. Still not a violation of any laws because that was the content back in like 2007. You have the right to the game license in whatever state they choose to give it to you. Your only recourse if you dislike it is to not give them money. Full stop.
