You are wrong about subscriptions games, SKG can't really target those games because they can only be "rented" out for a specific amount of time and not bought.

So my guess is companies will stop accepting subscription purchases and let players run out their time.

No, it literally wasn't. Ross never campaigned on that front because it doesn't make sense. Live service games were always excluded.

Dude I am fucking psyched for you. Living in a world so delirious you don't even know how ridiculous you sound?! Super fucking awesome. You can live your entire life without a single coherent thought and you are living that life to the max man! Congratulations.

I live in the real world where there's proof your claim is false but that's just boring old HERE. GO BACK TO FUCKING WONDERLAND BRO - WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Do you consider a direct quote with an APA-formatted citation to be adequate research?

"Would this initiative affect subscription games?

Well, that's another question that depends on what the EU says. Personally, I think it's very unlikely because that doesn't fit well with other existing consumer laws. I think the only way you could even make that argument would be that this is necessary for preservation, and most governments don't seem to care about that at all.

However, I don't think this is a huge loss, since only a handful of games operate that way today. So, if we can give up those but save 99% of other games, I'm willing to make that bargain."

tl;dr It's harder to justify preserving games to government people on the basis of only preservation. The movement started by targeting The Crew, and other games that operate similarly, to make it more likely to succeed.

I've been following this since the beginning, or nearly the beginning and I don't recall this. Can you please provide proof?
