I'd say this shows how corrupted elites are. If the "democratic" entity spends all the time with lobbyists, and not the initiative which started the discussion, this speaks volumes.
Seeing your comment, the base seems more corrupted than the elite. The corruption they suffer is to see everyone as being corrupted.
Think about it: how you would implement such directive and make it implementable... Now you see the problem.
what can you do? they have billions and we have signatures.

The commission is defined by councils and policy from each member state. Many member states send their right wing nuts so there is a bigger picture than just "corrupt".
They spent their time to talking to people who are willing to actually engage with the problem at hand rather than just heckling from the sidelines. Every time I’ve seen SKG mentioned I start with some sympathy for the perspective and rapidly remember they’re just not at all serious, and have no idea what they’re talking about.
If they kept it to single player games and a push for games which aren’t multiplayer not to have a clean kill switch for all online bits so that they continue to work after the servers go away that would be fine. Push for multiplayer first games to require a defined support period like the EU requires for consumer IoT hardware now. What isn’t realistic is stamping their feet and demanding that companies make it possible for people to run their own servers for live service games, just the licensing issues are going to be a nightmare to solve, and a lot of the time when servers start getting turned off the team that could do this work has been dissolved or are working on other things.
If you don’t like games that require a server to function don’t buy them, that’s a choice that can be made.
