Why?

Am I correct if I assume that these game studios/publishers that are against it are planning to make live-service games?

100% correct. Tldw in the first video, the argument Videogames Europe makes is that they require the right to end the existence of entire catalogues of videogames the moment they stop earning sales because money.

It doesn't even matter if it's a single player game. If it stops selling, they must be allowed to pull it from sale to make more money, by forcing a new single player game on would be customers of the delisted single player game. Doubly so if it's a live service singleplayer game.

The Warcraft 3 remake is a prime example of this behavior.

Endless greed. Good ol' profits above literally anything else

it's funny how they said this initiative would harm their ability to make profit out of the products they'd remove - what? xD

a war?

I actually fear that while the intent is good, the result won’t be.

Meh

The greedy corpos will do what the greedy corpos always do and lawyer and semantic their way out of it through loopholes and workarounds.

Remember EA and their: It's not "gambling"... It's a "surprise mechanic".

"I love killing games" - corpos

if I were in the EU I'd probably sign it...

don't even think RCT2 works anymore, and that's like the best game ever made. >.>
