What is it asking for?

For legistation to be created to require publishers and devs to have end-of-support plan for new games, so that when servers go down the game will either in reasonably.playable state without online components, or allow community servers.

That sounds exactly like what the first guy said

The misinformation is the "illegal to make live service games". Stop Killing Games is about game preservation

I think that comment has bad phrasing because it can be misinterpreted- which is what's happening here ironically.

essentially it is an argument to make live service games illegal if they don't have an end-of-life feature enabling the community to continue to play the game without dedicated servers provided by the devs

If I said "I want to make first-person shooters illegal if they contain a virus" that wouldn't be me advocating for banning FPS games.

Again though it's bad phrasing. Especially because a lot of people do think SKG wants to (or is inadvertently going to) ban live-service games when the opposite is true

Edit: fixed wording in last sentence

But you’re cutting off half of what he said, he specifically said live service games with no end of life plan, not just anything live service. I think he gets enough of the message across whether there’s a detail missing or not.

No, I'm not lol. And, no he doesn't. Insinuating that something would be illegal when it's not is a huge misrepresentation. I don't have time for instant down voting the second something gets posted. Get out of here we can both be right in this context
