If a game has reached EoL then they’re just being straight greedy worrying about someone else making a little money off it. Running a public server costs money too.
And again, nobody said they have to release a ready to go and fully functioning standalone binaries. Just the documentation on how it works as a bare minimum would go EXTREMELY far for the open source community and then the whole “ThEY DiDnt MaKE anY ConTrIBuTIOns” goes up in smoke
Stop killing games said that games need to be kept in a functioning state afaik. That means exactly that.
I am very for modding games but modding a game does not entitle me to the original creators intellectual property, but merely the part j have added.

Also what documentation? :)
Not what was said, so what you know is wrong
They would have to make it for it to be available, obviously, that’s part of the point of pushing for these laws
Wrong, see first bullet point https://www.stopkillinggames.com/eci
Which is elaborated on elsewhere in their campaign to mean “repairable within reason for the normal person”
It does not mean that a developer has to do anything extreme at all
They just need to change everything about how they design and create the games to fit the new model.
