What about multiplayer games? The server side is always going to be a necessity for those games.
So then release the server side data. Or unlock the game from the need of a server, or allow users to create their own servers.
My guess they won’t coz server code recycled for future games. Nobody will play for CoD MWBOCW187 coz with server code published you can just mod older server and pay the only fair price of new game which is 0.00 €$
I mean this isn’t about asking the companies nicely to do this. We are asking law makers to enforce this by law. We are past asking corporations to not be crap.
