Eh, we'll see. USB C and other app stores made Apple gain less money, whereas this petition would make it cost more to implement such a thing, and could be a sizeable problem for specific games which heavily relies on proprietary algorithms or just the game itself, such as mmorpg, small companies…

    It's honestly very little work to implement a way for a game to be offline... Basically just remove the method that checks for a server and that's it...

    What could be a bit more costly would be releasing server implementations so people can host their own game servers, but it should still be expected... Actually it wouldn't be that hard IF it's taking into account from the get go coz you can just release the last release before being shut down and that's it

    An online-only game without server requirement… isn’t a game anymore

    And yea, if the law only applies in a couple of years, then all good since devs can take that in mind, which makes it a lot easier
