It makes sense if you are completely consumer-brained and only see it as “companies will make less (live service) games if they are forced to support them/let them be community supported”
No, remember, it only makes sense if you are consumer-brained
Less live service games = less consooming. Some people literally don’t care about things that are in their best interest, they will happily pay $120 for a game that has pay2win microtransactions and requires a monthly subscription and will also shutdown after 18 months, as long as there is a new one to buy after it.

Isn’t that a win win tho? Less live service games?
The industry is already horrible to work in.

Well with the support that’s come from mainstream gaming influencers, I hope the opinion has swayed in the opposite direction.
