    I also love this part:

    Earlier this month, game publishing trade association Video Games Europe said the initiative’s proposals “would curtail developer choice”

    Well, yes, that’s the point of pretty much any regulation about anything. Curtailing the choice of people abusing the system.

      You know who else curtails developer choice by setting arbitrary deadlines and pushing for aggressive monetization? Game publishers. Pretty sure the devs don’t want their game to be universally hated for lootboxes and bugs.
