... we are talking about the EU initiative in particular, right? I assumed so, mb if that wasn't the case but given Ross' "I just want this to happen" attitude I still believe they're not going for retroactive legislation.
Did I say otherwise?
Let me put some emphasis on what I have been saying.
Perhaps you are confusing "current" with "today", rather than with what is intended. That being the future point in time at which any such regulation comes into effect.
No, I got it, but if Helldivers 2 is an existing game today it is also an existing game at the time of potential regulation, dead or alive.
The Helldivers 2 backend has been planned before the EU mandates end-of-life plans
-> Arrowhead designed the Helldivers 2 backend before the EU mandates end-of-life plans
-> the EU can't (or shouldn't) mandate Arrowhead or Sony to design the Helldivers 2 backend in a way to accomodate compliant end-of-life plans.
To emphasize my point: judging by how things have been going, a significant part of the game is spaghetti code, which doesn't bode well for said EOL plans.
And my point is that allowing further updates without having to abide by preservation is a giant loophole publishers absolutely WILL use.
There would simply never be a new FIFA game again. Only "updates".
Do you see what I mean?
I'll just sleep on it, maybe I will
