> In this case, the company offering this service should be responsible for making it possible to host the service independently before discontinuing it

So AWS are now contractually required to offer all of their managed services to be self hostable or they can’t be used in games?

> For Steam, for example, there is the Goldberg Steam Emulator

So open source reverse engineered solutions are ok? Why aren’t they acceptable for games instead of the underlying platform? Why is it ok for a game that uses steam for online services but not epic (as there’s presumably no equivalent emulator), or an in house tech?

> Games that do not have additional DRM or any extra features but simply use the standard Steamworks SDK for multiplayer can be played entirely without the Steam client or server using this emulator

And those games are unaffected by anything that will come from this law.
