    I’d much prefer companies to be forced to release the source code for multiplayer servers once they decide to shut them down. There will always be fans who’d keep it running.

      I would prefer any game that is no longer sold to fall into the public domain, including releasing the source code. Reward them for their limited copyright and pnly keep those protections as long as they maintain the game’a availability.

          Putting it in the public domain is an additional thing.
