> However, I don't see how a bankrupt studio can release their server code

This feels like trying to poke small holes for no reason.

Let’s say bankrupt studios are off the hook. What then? Most games still be saved. EA just announced they are killing Anthem in 2026. EA won’t be bankrupt next year. There you have one game already immortalized thanks to regulation.

We can "say" this, but it would need to be part of the proposal. To be honest I haven't read the proposal, just the FAQ. But I would expect some nuance to be added to protect small studios.

Like I said in my first comment, I feel like this proposal is just targeting studios like EA. And I am sure it works well for that. Though personally I would've hoped that consumers would just stop buying EA games.
