Comment on If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe

Hey players! Our multiplayer AAA title “craftshootteams” isn’t doing well and we’re prohibited by law from switching it off. But not to worry, with our ad supported €99.99 per month premium package you can keep access to your loot, high score and kudos thanks to our partners Evilcorp and DataSeller who will transfer over to their servers. You just need to install their “SocialMedialSlurper” anti cheat client with full root access to continue.

Nice write-up, but really not helpful since it has nothing at all to do with what is actually proposed in the initiative.

If the price is too high on an already unprofitable game it’s still just going to lose money. It would probably be cheaper to just let the community run servers for them.
