> Indie developers can probably avoid killing games the most easily

They can and they should. I wouldn't want someone to lose their livelihood because they didn't rigorously test a product they made and released for fun.

Anyone using AWS managed services has 3rd party tech that is temporarily licensed. Any dependence on steam, EOS, google, apple, is a third party dependency.

What about steam relay? Any APIs at all? I think a revenue floor is simpler and more future proof.

An indie developer should regard it as a big reason not to use (or require) server-side components in their game design. Then there are no obligations to take care of at EOL.
