  • Under the Stop Killing Games proposal, games like Destiny can still be run exactly the way they have been till now, same game, business model, everything. All they would need to do now that they are shutting down the game is to provide source code for the game backend, for the parts that they wrote themselves.

    Any third party tool source code cannot be provided, and is not reasonable to ask for, so a working server can’t just be spun up, but the rest of the source code will be enough for fans of the game to get a working third party server going for others that want to enjoy Destiny again.

    Just publishing the source code with no further support is legit as far as SKG is concerned. That’s the bare minimum required to allow people to keep playing the games they paid for. If publishers are looking at this basic request of consumer rights from people, and concluding that it’s unreasonable to the level that they can no longer produce these games. Then they shouldn’t be making these games.
