Ubisoft claims consumers were given "clear and conspicuous" notice that they were only buying a "limited license" to access the game.

Wouldn’t the easiest way out for this just be to throw a repo up and say “host your own servers, go away.”

It feels like that would be an approach that would be simple and cheap to deliver (they don’t have to handhold any of it) but makes them look magnamanous-- “you’ll be able to show your kids this game or get a nostalgia kick even 20 years for now, like how your dad pulled out the Atari 2600”.

that’s what the other side wants them to do, yes.

servers are probably to tightly integrated into ubi’s infra to publish but they don’t want to say that.

I figure it would be the “good enough compliance gesture” like when router makers dunp a barely-building code sample to comply with the GPL.
