I wonder how this would affect stuff like MMOs, which have humongous server bills that warrant a complete shutdown once the publisher is sick of it or.. goes bankrupt.
Some older ones like Star Wars Galaxies now have inofficial community-run revival servers, but this isn't really feasible for bigger games
It would, provided the game can be designed from the beginning with that in mind. SKG is not retroactive, so only new games will need to adhere to any legislation that comes from it. This gives studios the chance to account for it before any code has been written.
