I don’t feel like reading the article, but I’m guessing if they want to release a multiplayer game that you have to pay for, and they want to shut down their servers (making the game unplayable), maybe they would be required to release their server software so people can host themselves.

Yes, that’s part of the proposal. Another part is that you should be able to play the game even if you don’t have access to the servers.

Oh, 100% agree with that.
