I don’t feel like reading the article, but I’m guessing if they want to release a multiplayer game that you have to pay for, and they want to shut down their servers (making the game unplayable), maybe they would be required to release their server software so people can host themselves.

Wouldn’t they just not release the games instead?

That would cut them off from a huge market. Just look at bad actors like Google, Apple, and Microsoft. They comply with EU laws, since losing the market would hurt them too much financially.

For a few specific games? Yeah they could stand to lose, it’s not every game in their catalog.
Totally different situation.

They won’t. Because of short term greed.

They already don’t sell in particular markets because of laws, why do you think this time would be any different?
