No, what's silly is that you haven't even taken the time to read the initiative. You're coming out with the same incorrect arguments as PirateSoftware did.

What they're saying is (for games that would come out in the future only), is that they need to have an EoL plan for the game.

Let people host their own servers. That used to be a standard feature of multiplayer games.

Why do gamers need protection? Games aren't essential resources. There's zero reason you have to buy a game that doesn't allow users to run servers. Why would you prevent gamers who don't care from buying these games?
Nobody asks to "protect gamers"...
Well there's kind of motte-bailey going around where the law effort is of course focusing on the thing they might win, while common commenters demand vastly more unrealistic things.
