> However, it excludes games provided via subscription services, free-to-play games, and games that are inherently playable offline indefinitely.

How is that incentivizing offline games? Half of the service game focused industry would be exempt

They will also prefer subscription or free-to-play than actual offline gaming. This is going to be a disaster

I don't think it's going to be a disaster, doing nothing is not quite a disaster when the AAA games sector has been ticking over like this for the past 10 years or so.

The law is worded so that this does extremely little even if fully passed by CA's legal system due to the very broad exceptions. Exactly as lobbyists want it.

Makes great headlines for SKG while doing pretty much nothing material for them though.
