>Are they supposed to just hand off some kind of private server formula for every online game made now?
Not necessarily, all that's being asked is that the product stays usable in some way. What that means is up to negotiation, it just means that there's HAS to be something set up.

not at all, it just forces companies to not cut corners and figure their shit out, that's their problem anyway if they can't figure it out
