I'm not sure what kind of answer you expect. If they say yes, everybody goes on a tirade and smears the project online, even if they make it clear that they don't have the resources to fight it.

If they say no, they put the project and the developers into the way of legal harm, or they have to region block areas. Neither is a great option.

I completely agree that these upcoming laws are fucking stupid, but they were created by people with little understanding of what they are regulating or the wide variety of ways people use computers, and they will have equally lacking nuance when it comes to enforcing them; these hobby projects don't have the means to pay $400-800/hr trying to fight this in court.

@Telorand well I just expected a yes or no. My opinion in this time of war against human, I quit my job very good job to stand up for right, and i couldnt afford to do it but I will not comply to anything that goes againts the charter of rights, and that put people in danger. Its our duty to standup. Like our ancestor fight for our rights and many die doing it.

I tend to agree with you, but it's good to remember that Bazzite isn't a person, it's a project. Furthermore, it's a project with very little political power. If they shut down tomorrow, the powers that be wouldn't even notice; they can't strike or demonstrate, and shutting down operations would only affect gamers (the same would virtually apply to all the Universal Blue projects).

If they went the route of fighting a protracted legal battle, they'd spend a lot of money on something they would not be guaranteed to win.

I get the desire to want to have a definitive answer, but they are just as much a victim as we are, and they have less political power than we do. They have no weight to throw around; frankly, it is up to us to defend them.
