EU also banned ICE cars against the lobbying of all the European car companies. Auto industry is ~$600B in EU, video games are ~$80B. Sure, EU relaxed the rules in the end but again, you really think they are able to regulate auto industry but are folding immediately when video games lobbyist show up?
Depends. How much are the lobbyists paying? Its possible the auto industry simply refused to pay whereas gaming companies might pay more.
Also, these people care way less about anything related to video games than they care about banning cars. “Cars are loud, get in the way of their bicycle, and sometimes stink; but video games? What is that?”
