    Luckly you agree with SKG. They have always said they are not fighting to force companies to keep servers running. They are fighting for us to have the right to either run them offline or to run our own servers when the game is no longer supported.

    There are no requirements under SKG to force them to run games forever just FYI. Their wording is soft on purpose. It could mean running a server still sure, or releasing a dedicated server client, or even releasing the source code so independent developers and open source folks can figure out how to run them themselves.
