We just want to know what the end of life plan is up front. If we know it will be gone completely at some future point, we can use that information in deciding whether to purchase it in the first place.

Why is this so hard to understand?

That may be what you want but that's not what stop killing games is about. You can't ask for the life plan of some software because companies will simply say that they plan to keep it up forever and then later say "we can't keep it up anymore! Too expensive! We go bankrupt uwu"

You can't demand either from them that they upkeep a game fo as long as players exist.

The initiative is about making companies guarantee that if (when?) the games EOL arrives, then they release whatever resources are needed for players to continue using what they have paid for.
