This is the problem SKG is trying to solve
>make big bet on a live service game
>make it at a loss to try and get lots of players
>once you get a lot of players farm the whales with microtransations
>99% of the time you don't get any players and you game is niche, your project gets canned and the servers are shut off, rendering the game unplayable
If this silicon valley startup inspired strategy becomes illegal then what will happen is that companies will actually be LESS risky in what kind of games they publish. Not more.
That being said it may be worth it for artistic preservation, that's for the people to decide.
