It’s a similar explanation to the one Chet Faliszek gave on YouTube, but I still don’t find it convincing.
In fact, it’s a common political tactic for large corps to claim that legislation will harm small companies while big ones will skirt the rules. In some cases it can be true, but it should guide the regulation wording rather than be a point against any regulation.
You definitely don’t get it. One, this is a future date to take effect. Two, these companies already have a way to run things locally - without Internet services. That’s how the development works. This would force companies to release that local version when they decide to no longer support the game. So like how a lot of multiplayer games already work - steam has a server version that you download, run on a computer, and connect. Nobody who built these games wants them to be unavailable at some future point
How are there no articles that explain any of this, I am going to have to type out the explanation in 3 places.
