EU should make a law where any game that provides any online interactions, needs to provide user an mechanism to allow host their own server for those interactions to prevent discrimination, allow content preservation and control of your privacy / data. Is there any downside? This literally solves the "say nigger, get banned" meme.

how the fuck would they possibly to that? they would need to write a brand new law I assume. That's not a simple task, especially in a bureaucratic nightmare like the EU.

the shit they did with forcing steam to offer refunds was an enforcement of an existing law, not a new one.

They already did GDPR and the cookie laws. EU is master at blackmailing america's billionare companies and is how the shithole is funded.

>They already did GDPR and the cookie laws
those things are waaay larger in scope and significance than trying to regulate video games lmao.

Sorry, that's fucking stupid. Games are made by everyone, not just big bad companies that you can boss around for the betterment of society. If you or I made a dumb mspaint browser game over the weekend and it had a concept of users interacting in a shared space, then we'd be breaking such a law? That's government overreach.

Also the EU sucks, and I hope it disintegrates.

All MMOs either die or are banned in the EU. Likewise for any game with microtransactions. Hacking becomes more prevalent.

Small companies break laws all the time, law doesn't care until the company / product grows popular / big enough

>All MMOs either die
UO lives and isn't banned.

Hacking will be less prevalent because now people can actually moderate their own servers.

>laws matter more to big companies than small companies
user, you should apply for neetbux because you're retarded.

what a wonderful nation organized around the rule of law you have in mind

Small companies esp startups are breaking laws all the time. They only start taking them seriously when they can afford it or somebody starts giving you shit about it. GDPR is being violated constantly.

>big bad companies that you can boss around for the betterment of society
ok then just make a law that says you can do that
I hate legalfags so much this is why arbitrary government is literally the only sensible political position.

>ok then just make a law that says you can do that
ok, so how do you define what is and isn't a bid bad company?

>I hate legalfags so much
what you meant to say is that you hate being a brainlet who gets frustrated when encountering nuanced problems, and resort to wishing for an authoritarian daddy to snap his fingers and make problems disappear.

>the shit they did with forcing steam to offer refunds was an enforcement of an existing law
this change happened because of Australian consumer laws which were enforced on steam as a requirement of trading in the country. EU followed suit after

I just said it, arbitrary government. Prince George of Cambridge ought to declare which games qualify based on how he feels about them. And then the devs should be flayed alive, because let's be real most game devs are subhuman.
>nuanced problems
Everything in existence is nuanced. That doesn't mean I have to (intellectually) waddle around in circles like a stupid duck instead of approaching the problem directly and solving it.
Trannies are a nuanced issue but a workable solution is burning them all at the stake. There's no reason why this response would prevent a more nuanced reaction from being deployed at a later date when the phenomenon is better understood.
>authoritarian daddy to snap his fingers and make problems disappear
You've been taught to think negatively of a leader willing to immediately and uncompromisingly defend your interests.

>Prince George of Cambridge ought to declare which games qualify based on how he feels about them.
aka you want an authoritarian daddy
you pretend that you somehow will be exactly aligned with what a dictator would want, because your power fantasy is living in an authoritarian regime where you are the one wearing the boot.

Good thing you will continue to be a loser no one has ever heard of or cared about.

>You've been taught to think negatively of a leader willing to immediately and uncompromisingly defend your interests.
The fact that you think such a leader exists or has ever existed is pretty comical.

>because your power fantasy is living in an authoritarian regime
How is this "power fantasy" any different from what might be called "a personal view of an ideal society". Many men throughout history have supported absolutist leaders without the slightest notion of ever holding the position themselves.
What matters is that at present the policies I support aren't being enacted. Should I be glad of a system that permits that? Should I instead "fantasize" about everyone magically agreeing with me and voting my stances through parliament?
For every man neutering his true beliefs to conform with "nuanced reality" there are 100k others like him, waiting for the first chance to tear him (and each other) to bits so that 1 billionth of their castrated dream can be manifested in some trivial legislation.
That is a WASTE of vitality. I want what I want and I wish for a Big Man to provide it for me. Anyone who disagrees is a fool and can go to hell.

>How is this "power fantasy" any different from what might be called "a personal view of an ideal society"
Because it's a fantasy of having absolute control, don't pretend that you are simply stating your position on policy.

>Many men throughout history have supported absolutist leaders without the slightest notion of ever holding the position themselves.
And all of those men who got their wish quickly found themselves living in an oppressive authoritarian regime.

That's because the notion of a strong man snapping his fingers and solving all the world's problems is a FANTASY. Real life and real people do not conform to that fantasy, that's why the rule of law was created. No single man can effectively organize an entire society and any attempt to do that as always resulted in untold amounts of regular people being crushed under the boot of the regime in the name of "progress".

>eu should make a law
>laughs in American

the business model of EU is to set up laws and regulations and black mail big companies

Based, fuck big companies and fuck people that bow to them.
