If Stop Killing Games actually becomes some sort of law in the EU, it will be interesting to see how it intersects with this kind of thing.
They sold you software (and the hardware it came on) that you can no longer use because they shut down their servers. Why should the fact that it’s software for a smart device instead of a game make a difference? A Stop Killing Games law, if worded as “software” instead of “games” which seems likely, would directly apply here.
Could we trick the EU into passing sweeping consumer protections for all licensed software because they think it’s just for video games?
