It’s one possible solution for one of the problems under the same umbrella. If you can’t or don’t want to run the servers for your online game (eg: Echo VR), just open source the server’s code and let the community keep the game running.

You don’t need to open source the code to release the server binaries.

  But you could open source it and have the community figure it out themselves

    Of course, but the point is that it isn’t a factor in Thor’s decision.

But even then it's astronomically unlikely to be retroactively enforced. Old games will be grandfathered in and it would apply only to future game releases.
