For a brief moment, I thought maybe the headline was referring to legislation that would protect women's sports, but I knew that was impossible because this came from California.

I'd love to read the details of the bill because it's not an easy problem to solve without infringing one some party's rights. Mandating a gaming company to continue running servers at a loss would not stand. Mandating a gaming company to open their protocols and allow third-party servers could be seen as an infringement on the IP rights of the gaming company. (I'm not taking sides here.) Other solutions such as mandating an offline mode would also be an overreach.
