@TopBep No developers will have to listen to this tho?
If they want to shut down the game what's this law going to do?

@SnugSmug @TopBep The goal is some law akin to the EU's USB-C law for portable devices, rather than some poor fine that companies will pay off.
According to the law, as of December of this year, it will be entirely illegal to sell portable devices in the EU that don't use a standardized USB-C port without valid reason. Companies pay attention to these laws, because this isn't something as simple as "well we just wont do it, and the government and fines can't stop us," but rather these laws basically kick that company entirely out of the EU and blacklist their products. Imagine losing a population of around 550 million people, a good amount of which have some form of disposable income, that could buy your product simply because you refused to comply. Apple even has complied with this, despite historically being one of the greatest pushers of proprietary cables.
If a similar law gets passed for games, disallowing companies to lie about ownership, then quite a large number of companies will comply to keep up one of their largest markets.

@Iffine @SnugSmug @TopBep tdlr, give option for private servers or gtfo the eu
-
@SnugSmug @Iffine @TopBep if you couldn't read ill help you :ina_pat:
Much like the usb c thing, if any company is not following it, they are immediately banned from sale in the eu and basically forced out the eu losing an entire market portion of the world

@luithe @Iffine @TopBep okay, but the game would be shutting down anyways so it doesn't matter?
I'm pretty sure hoyo could cut off all of EU and it would hardly hurt their total profits.
I just don't see this law actually doing anything to big businesses.
A FP2 game vs trying to sell $1000 phones to millions of people is a little different.
