A very large percentage of multiplayer games keep the backend in an MS SQL or Oracle cluster.

Sure but you don't link in Oracle/MS's database cluster orchestrators to your server, right?

THat really depends on how you define "the server",doesn't it? The intent of the bill seems to be a thing that actually play that game.

The "server" being the computer program not running on a user device. The intent of the initiative is to allow people to substitute or replace that program to allow the game to continue to function even if the original publisher/developer disables access to it.

It's pretty obvious to me as a gamer and engineer what the intent and design constraints are here, so I'm just wondering what makes this seem impossible?
