I’d like to see this effort include the responsible sunsetting of games.
If publishers no longer wish to host the game, and noinfer wish to collect money for it, they should relinquish the server code and let communities prop up games when the games services are decommissioned.

Knockout City handled their closure wonderfully releasing a final version that would let players run their own servers. Removed some licensed cosmetics to make it possible. The Crew 2 after backlash from Crew 1 released an offline mode. Those two games are great examples of the bare minimum that leaves people happy without needing to support a game indefinitely.
