BS. There are plenty of community hosted servers of games that operate with no issues. This has corp written all over it.

They pretty much repeat everythibg Ross said the initiative is NOT set out to do. Just like that brat PirateSoftware… Mallicious from the get go.

We just want to know what the end of life plan is up front. If we know it will be gone completely at some future point, we can use that information in deciding whether to purchase it in the first place.
Why is this so hard to understand?

If you are looking at it that way, you should not buy any game with an online component. Every single one of those will be gone at some point.
I know you are asking the “when” but that can be difficult to assess for a company that is built on pure profit.
Which is why the initiative is more about being able to make your own servers for these games, not about forcing companies to keep their servers alive indefinitely.

Way ahead of you. I generally avoid games that make me rely on other people for my fun anyway.
That said, hypothetically, I still might ‘buy’ (i.e. lease) a game even if I know that it’ll be shut down eventually. It depends on the game. I even bought into the early access for Assetto Corsa Evo, although I am slightly uncomfortable that I don’t know what the EOL plan is for that. At least it has an offline mode built in.
