I disagree. 25k euro is simultaneously a large and not a large amount of money. It's big enough to lock out many potential small business founders. But also many ordinary inexperienced people can have that amount of money up front, yet

It does not advocate requiring indefinite support by the publisher/developer. It is about making publishers provide whatever tools are necessary to let players keep the game running without a central server . It's basically right

They're advocating for publishers to patch the game to let players run homebrew servers after the official servers shut down. Or, in the case of single-player games that phone-home, to just disable the phone-home part. Read the FAQ: h
