alt Hacker News90% of games have no online conponent, and run in perpetuity after purchase. The multiplayer games usually ship with a server binary you can place on any machine you control.
This only affects AAA game studios that produce micro transaction slop and live services. The exact same that are lobbying against any sort of regulation.
The gaming industry will be fine.

So those games are unaffected regardless of this law.

F2P live service games are specifically excluded from this though, which presumably is what you mean by micro transaction slop. This affects every game, from a 1 man developer who uses steam for p2p all the way up to activision and call of duty. The groups hit hardest by this are going to be small-medium developers who are just trying to build a game, not Ubisoft (who are the reason for instigating this whole thing).
