You’re right that there should be concerns about connecting old games to a random server that can push software updates. However, I think you’re misunderstanding what the SKG movement is as well as what this legislation is asking for. It’s not asking for companies to leave the servers running indefinitely. It’s definitely not telling them to just allow a 3rd party to take over the databases with all of the information there. It’s telling companies to provide information upfront about what consumers can expect when the game servers are officially shut down. It’s telling them to have a plan for shutting the game down. It provides some options for what those plans could look like: - Offline mode (and communicate what features will no longer be available) - Allow private servers - Refunds The current version of this bill has an exception for free games and subscription only based games.
