Are people actually advocating for game publishers to have to keep the servers running forever?

if you have about 2iq, and just woke up, haven't drank coffee, and refuse to do any research at all.

Then yes that is what they want to do.

If you actually read into it, that's not even close to what they want.

also it's not "a bit unreasonable" it's entirely unreasonable.

I think a reasonable compromise would be that if they plan to shut down the servers, the publisher should have to release the server side software.

you just reiterated 95% of the entire campaign, great job.
