Stop Killing Games explicitly does not want endless support from a publisher. They are advocating for publishers to implement an End of Life plan during the development stages of a game that can be enacted after the publisher wishes to stop supporting a game, so that a player has a reasonable chance of continuing to play the game on their own, either by disabling Always Online DRM, removing the Online component of a game with a large single player campaign (like The Crew), or providing server binaries so the user can self-host a server.

Thanks for filling me in, I do think that makes sense. I know I got downvotes for thinking aloud but appreciate you answering.

  You’re probably being down voted because uninformed people giving their “opinion” has been a huge issue for SKG. Since big companies have been fighting hard for people to think that SKG means that companies would need to pay for servers infinitely.
  
  Just mentioning that as a possibility could be harmful as it plants the seed of thought of “SKG sounds good, but they could be scheming this evil shit in the shadows”. Which is NOT the case, SKG has been very explicit in that they DON’T want companies to pay for maintenance for servers. They only want access to the server software in order for anyone to be able to run it.
