Unlikely. They don’t want to lose the entire European market.
For a few specific games? Yeah they could stand to lose, it’s not every game in their catalog.
It's every game sold to EU citizens, not only those made in the EU.
That have multiplayer servers* what percentage of all games made fit the requirement that would fall under the umbrella of this law?
Most of them that make them money. Steam Charts: https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/global
And this doesn't even take into account mobile games that generated 49% of global games market share revenue in 2023.
At first glance, most look to be single player actually.
Don’t just spout obvious bullshit and provide something that doesn’t even corroborate what you’re claiming, if you want to try and have a conversation dude don’t lie, don’t post stuff that shows the opposite of what you’re claiming. It just shows you have no idea about the content and wanted to complain.
Vast majority of games are actually SP, not MP, so your claim is just showing you have zero intention of having a discussion on this, you just want to cry and be heard.
Do you even understand what this is about? For games that are fully functionally offline this isnt even relevant. This is about multiplayer and forced online games. This is about any game that would stop functioning as intended due to the dev/publisher disabling servers of any sorts.
Uhh… yeah, that’s literally what I mentioned a few comment before this person provided the top 100 games on steam saying most are MP, while in fact most are SP.
Do you have an issue with reading comprehension or something…? Because that’s literally the argument I’ve been making lmfao.
Honestly if it stops some single player games from shoehorning multiplayer aspects where they don't fit that's a win too.
