  While it might not be easy for existing games…

  Enforcing it on future releases is certainly doable

  And then force them to provide lan and direct play options and release server software when they shut down their game, if they dont provide server software to the public beforehand

    I can’t see why they would try to include existing games. Laws are (almost?) never retroactive. How can you comply with a law if it doesn’t exist yet?

      Any game currently live when the law rolls put should be included. If game is already shut down, but the company releases a new game, one could argue they should be forced to comply as well.
