@eff @pluralistic @IGN When you shut down a game's servers, you should be required to open-source the server software. When you stop selling a game, you should be required to open-source the entire game. ✊ :elmo_fire:

@adambyte @eff @pluralistic @IGN TBH proprietary games usually use a ton of proprietary middleware that belongs to someone else and thus can't be open sourced by the game company.

@elgregor @eff @pluralistic @IGN So the law needs to also say that the contracts with those middleware providers need to allow for this open-sourcing.
