It also covers games with any form of MTX, even if the base game is free. So most live service games.

I don't read it that way. "Free-to-play" games generally include games with microtransactions, and the bill text does nothing to disagree with that:

> (b) This section does not apply to any of the following:

> (2) Any digital game that is advertised or offered to a person for no monetary consideration.

This solely refers to the game being available for free, not for any additional powerups or cosmetics being available for free.
