Hey, maybe it's not that EU is a failed and totally corrupt state but they simply don't care about video games that much? You know, with global economic crisis on the horizon, new war in the middle east, growing threat from Russia and the collapse of NATO? Is that possible?
then why not do as people ask if they dont care?
Because they don't care? They won't spend time on it because it's low priority?
Is it the same people that works with wars and video games? EU is big and they can work on many things at the same time.
EU has done improvements on our right to our hardware, which includes right to repair and software updates of the operating system for five years. Looking into the right to our software, including video games, could have been the next step of that.
Yes, those are the same people. Not the same people will write the whole bill but the same people will have to move it through all the legislative process and vote on it.
Yes, EU has done many improvements. That's why I think it's silly that everyone says they are corrupt just because they didn't agree to work on video games. It's like people can only see one thing at a time.
As much as I liked the initiative, it was always on shaky ground because games aren't needed... now, if we could have tied it to the environment somehow (eg. hardware waste), or to the right of education (eg. safeguarding access to learning material), it would have stood a better chance.
Yeah, EU was probably thinking that it is a bunch of young adults which wants to continue play their favorite games. Good for them but not something worthy of their time. Personally, I think it is worth to do improvements to things that are not necessary but I can understand from their point that they want to focus on other things. With that being said I have a hard time to believe that everyone at EU needs to work on crucial projects all the time.
Many things can be true at once. They can have done good things, they can various opinions on topics, they can be busy with larger matters, and they can be corrupt!
Humans are really good at doing lots of things.
So they pushed GDPR through against the lobbying for Meta and Google, they pushed ICE cars ban against the lobbying or auto industry, they passed DMA/DSA against the lobbying of all the biggest corporations but on video games they folded immediately because EA and Xbox told them to. Yeah, I'm sure that's what happened.
