Since when have rights holders ever been held responsible for the actions of online players?

The only instances I can think of are when games exclusively target minors, like Roblox.

And in what crazy world would those scant responsibilities carry over to community servers after official support was ended?

What a cop out.

    Yeah, it's absurd. Lots of games just warn in their licence agreement that they don't control the experience you get from user-created content and online interactions. It's all it takes for them, especially if they don't even host that content on their own servers.

    One line of EULA is probably enough to state the right holder is not responsible for what happens in private servers.
