I’ve been wodnering how regulations about not killing games deals with compaines running multi-player servers?
For single player games or games with single player modes it seems easier to implement.

Interesting how Minecraft is the best selling game ever, yet it has basically no DRM. Apart from the actual download, buying an account gives you access to the official authentication servers, and that’s it, basically.
In fairness, Microsoft certainly has tried to get the next closest thing with Bedrock. The hosting of server backends through their architecture via “realms” allows them to lock you out of a whole lot, and I still see people getting randomly banned because of their profanity filter.
But yes, if Realms shut down right now, there would always be Java (and even privately hosted Bedrock servers).
