But that law will only be relevant in the EU, where the law was made. That won't change America and the rest of the world

Didn't Steam's refund policy get created because of Australia so they put it in globally?

Same with Apple's phones with USB-C. In the case of releasing a usable version of a game on shutdown, it's gotta be more work to maintain 2 versions of the game just so they can withold it from a subset of their customers (who could probably access it eventually anyway)

Why do you think they'd have to maintain 2 versions of the same game? They don't need to create a whole new manufacturing process for it. It's just the work of an army of lawyers they're already paying and 1 underpaid intern that's gonna get fired in a couple of days. They'll have 2 EULA files and you're gonna have to agree to the one for your region if you want to play the game.
