"Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable,"

This is obviously true since publishers of games with private servers are constantly being sued for those things. Like continuously sued all the time, never ending torrent of lawsuits!

I'm amazed that all the companies that still put out games that can be played on private servers are able to afford the legal costs!
