This shouldn't even be be a discussion. I repeat again: the devs can do whatever they like.
To clarify:
1. The devs have absolute power.
2. The devs are shutting down the 1.0 masterserver (sooner or later).
3. It follows from 1) that you can do nothing to prevent 2)
4. You can create your own masterserver for 1.0.
5. You can create your own servers for 1.0.
6. You will always still be able to download 1.0.
7. It follows from 4), 5), and 6) that you can still play 1.0 if you so choose.
8. People who complain get annoying after a while.
9. Many of you are complaining about 2), however, given 7), you have no reason to complain.
10. STOP COMPLAINING, AND IF YOU WANT TO PLAY 1.0, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND DO IT
