Right from the damn proposal. No one is in here demanding that folks continue hosting mp games for you (Although personally - I'd like to force them to provide the source to mp backends as well - but again, that's a real conversation).

you're just off-gassing nonsense at this point. This is aimed exactly at games that are primarily single player but require remote licensing servers (which have a funny habit of getting shut down right around the time the publisher releases a new version...)

Go read my first comment again... (Yes - all the way through....)
