I could see this leading to standardizing and outsourcing multiplayer services, which would be interesting.

That being said, before that happens, as a developer I'd be like: here's a zip file with all of our proprietary stuff ripped out. Have fun spending the next few months getting it to work well. Congratulations, you're now supporting a game that did poorly enough for us to drop it.

But seriously, go sign it. Long term it should be a good thing.

I'm old enough to remember when dedicated servers were the norm.

Oh sweet times before the matchmaking
