Ok, so your idea is that we will require all companies to release server and client builds, and also the source code as well (?), at some clearly defined point in the future, if they decide to terminate the live service?

Will we also require the same of the smart fridge companies? Will we also require the same of companies that don't sell live services, such as toilets?

    If I buy a smart fridge and the company that made them suddenly decided to turn them all off, then I'd definitely like the ability to turn mine back on, yes.

    And no, there's no expectation of source code. That's been covered many times.

      How can we ensure that if we legislate the games industry, then we also legislate all other industries with no special carve outs? That would make me much more supportive.
