European Commission preparing token gesture for angry gamers and game developers

  There are “challenges concerning scaling up companies, attracting financing” and “managing cyclical waves of labour lay-off”, the Commission announcement stated.

  So they don‘t actually want to do anything right now because the same scummy companies that kill live service games are laying off workforce en masse as well? Ugh, I didn‘t expect much but that‘s rich.

  They‘re basically saying: „Apologies, but we can‘t improve things right now. You see, the industry is too rotten already.“

  As expected from the EU commission that is just as corrupt as AAA studios.

    Sounds like an excellent reason to never buy a non indie game again.

  Did anyone actually expect the EU to regulate a multibillion dollar industry because it’s trending on social media?

    Lol what a hot take.

    No, we expect them to regulate a multi-billion dollar industry because that’s what governments do. Healthcare is a multi billion dollar industry. So is agriculture, and many others.

      • healthcare: lives & health at stake
      • agriculture: environment & health at stake
