The petition was about having an end-of-life plan.
Basically, they shouldn't be able to rugpull you.
There is no need for porting it to different architectures or making it singleplayer or anything.
Even EA is very lenient on that. EA didn't hunt down the people who ripped out GameSpy of their games, when it shut down, to keep them playable.
And that's what basically would happen. Just without legal grayzone that requires the publisher to "tolerate" it.
The real change to developing games is, that you can't use a third party service anymore than limits your license.
But that is an issue for future games, that still have the power to negotiate their third party licenses.
The petition is well thought through in that aspect.
