The worst outcome I can think of that remains feasible is that the legislation comes out so weak that the only change publishers need to do is include a disclaimer in the purchase agreement that "support for this game will last for a minimum of one month after launch, after which it may be discontinued at any time", effectively changing nothing

If corpo shills in the EU manage to steer the issue from 'this is a problem with goods preservation' to 'this is a problem with making informed purchases' I can imagine it going this route

Otherwise - I don't know, cloud gaming might get a bit complicated? But who gives a fuck
