> In the statement the European Commission mentioned they "cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially". Why? They say that's thanks to "existing intellectual property rights" as "rights holders enjoy exclusive rights over their creations" and that "In addition to copyright, other intellectual property rights may also be relevant as they may protect different visual and technological aspects of a video game".

Sounds like the EU Commission forgot/opted not to read anything provided by SDV.

> They say that existing EU consumer law "already provides for important safeguards protecting the economic interests of consumers", and note that video game publishers have to inform about "the duration and the conditions for terminating the contract before the consumers signs up for the video game".

Reality begs to differ.

Now I know to never trust the EU Commission.
