    If it passes, there will need to be a way to play offline or to host one’s own server after the official ones shut down, or an EOL date advertised along with the product.

      No, the EU council and parliament will just discuss it AFAIK. They are not bound to follow up with legislature, as thats still up to the lawmakers.

        Exactly. It’s really unnerving the amount of misinformation still being discussed after all this time. All the information was in the website since the beginning. This petition only forces the EC to talk about the topic. That’s it. They’ll probably ask for opinion of the industry and of consumer protection groups.

        You are welcome. Still, this is only true if the suggested law passes, and the petition meeting the 7-country & 1M signature thresholds only guarantees it will be considered by the European Parliament.
