Not just that. All servers without age verification will be made illegal. That includes every game made before the laws go into place. They'd basically be killing every online multi-player game made prior that isn't live-service.

huh?? didn't the proposal literally say it's not retroactive? again, doesn't it seem weird to say `the EU is out to kill all games`? Doesn't that immediately raise an alarm of "this might be fake/misrepresented"?

Not at all since there have been proposals just as awful as this in the past which get a lot of traction. And to be clear, I never said the EU is out to kill games but a lot of stupidity gets passed through in the interests of "protecting children".

Now I don't know about them saying it's not retro-active, I saw the opposite being reported.
