It never was a good faith initiative because it was deliberately vague and in all elaborations begging the question.
The only real solution offered by Ross Scott was mandating community servers, something that he clearly wants badly, but also something that isn't a reasonable expectation.
The problem was never about whether games did or did not have community servers, you know that when you buy the game, rather about the uncertainty and risk that comes with buying a live-service game that can be shut down arbitrarily.
Consumers don't know what they're buying, and that's a serious problem. The solution being rather obvious, not defining the substance of a product, but rather offering consumer security through mandated minimum service periods.
That's the only solution that upholds horizontal conformity with other EU legislation, yet it's also the only solution that Scott conveniently refuses to name.
Because 'Stop Killing Games' isn't about protecting consumers, it's about forcing an agenda.
