Ones with complicated server infrastructure, i.e. most modern online games. But in general the true scope of what is being cut off is unknowable, maybe a company in the future would have developed some new game middle-ware that would have only been viable under the current model and that did something cool, say with AI or something like that.
Point is you're pruning a whole branch of the software evolutionary tree and taking rights away from creators in order to give rights to consumers. Is this a worthwhile trade-off? Maybe, it depends on how you assign value to things. But personally I would like creators to have every available tool to them because creating stuff is a lot harder to mindlessly consuming things. Does that mean that I think predatory games are good? No, but they should not be legislated against, consumers should simply vote with their wallets.
