If a game has a mode that works in singleplayer without itnernet connection is it covered by this initiative? Since that would not require further support by the developer?
As far as the initative is concerned such a game would not be covered.
However there is a chance that shutting down the servers and therefore robbing players of part of the product they bought is already illegal under EU law. And if that's the case then it will ultimately up to whatever consumer protection agency takes on the case. (The initiative has been trying to get either the French or German organisation on the case for months)
I agree that shutting down a games servers while leaving a singplayer mode still can be a bad move and will give team fortress 2 as an example.
