I really don't have any concrete intuition as to what the stop killing games initiative is trying to achieve. can someone help? do they want companies to keep up the servers forever? or force them to distribute all parts of their software necessary for thr game to function? or just more disclosure in advertising material about how the support of the game is not indefinite?

Look up the FAQs in their website. Basically they want devs to release the server host tools so that community servers can be set up

Accursed Farms just published a FAQ video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEVBiN5SKuA, but the first announcement should explain it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w70Xc9CStoE
