This is targeted toward "securing your game’s legacy", but it seems to be missing a crucial part of some games: servers.
When games have a required online component, servers shutting down are the most likely reason the game becomes unplayable, more than the client not working on current platforms.
So another option that could be added to the list would be to make the server free software (or at least share its binaries) before the client's assets or the client itself. This can also boost the community if they can host their own servers with custom mods (eg. Minecraft)
