>They will simply stop selling in the EU
Let's do some simple math.
Rounded down, the EU has a population of 449 million people.
Let's say a grand total of 2% of that is interested in buying a game. An extremely lowball estimate.
0,02 x 449.000.000 = 8.980.000 customers
Each of these will be paying 60 euros for this game
8.980.000 x 60 = 538.800.000 euros profit
So the choices for a videogame company CEO are:
>Make your game compliant with EU law
>Get voted out by the board because you left five hundred million worth of profit lying on the sidewalk.
They'll comply. The power in companies lies in their ability to move manufacturing somewhere else and take a bunch of jobs with them. They will bend over sideways and agree to no lube from the government before they'll start pulling out of entire markets.
