In the USA it’s performative, but in the EU it means they will actually need to talk about it.

The initiative is not asking for retroactive enforcement.

They are asking for an end of life plan for games made after some TBD date. Something that at least gives end-users a chance that it can be played after a corporation ends support. Ideally that would be server binaries, but it could also mean documentation on how the server infrastructure works so it can be rebuilt by motivated end-users.

PS’s use of League of Legends is awful because all they would need for an end of life plan (if it had been required at the time) is to add a LAN mode just like PvP games from years and years ago, I.e. Quake, Warcraft, Starcraft, Counter-Strike, Halo… Etc etc etc.

That’s it. That doesn’t require “endless” support.

Did you mean NewPipe? Pipewire is the Linux audio/video framework.

If you’re tech savvy, look into selfhosting SearXNG.

I think there are public instances as well.

I used to only do something called “surfing” in the Counter-Strike: Source days.

There are dedicated servers that only run surf maps.
