He and his Reddit fanboys believe that the campaign is meant to force companies to host servers forever, and it will apply retroactively to every game to exist, and every publisher will have to give the games away for free forever, and Ross Scott will come and take your toothbrush. Or, he doesn't believe this and is just trolling and slandering.

No but in all seriousness if some sort of like, forced art preservation measure were to apply to live service games that have already shut down I would be behind that lmao. I want a full release of all of Final Fantasy Record Keeper's content. Or at least for the means for fans to put that together themselves to be released. Idk, I'm not expert. But I know I'm pro art preservation.

This despite the fact that over every single video he was proposing this in, Ross was explicitly clear that this isn't forcing server owners to do anything other than make it possible for other people to host servers on their own dime. Something currently impossible for most live service games
