Depending on how the law is implemented, I can think of a number of ways that studios would try to get around it: - If the law says it only applies to games which are purchased for an up-front cost, then make the game free-to-play but with microtransactions - Include a single-player campaign, which will remain playable even when the multiplayer or game-as-a-service part of the game goes offline - Just don't allow EU players to buy or play the game If this were to become law, I expect that it would result in many more games with offline solo play, rather than resulting in more games where the tools to host your own server are provided. That's still probably a victory for players, though.
