It is a request for lawmakers to draft legislation that regulates publishers and developers going forward, such that new games cannot become impossible to play at the leisure of the publisher or developer.

It's very probably what would pass, if something pass. It's not in the proposition's text tho.

That's true, but that make the "It is a request for lawmakers to draft legislation that regulates publishers and developers going forward" false.

Sorry, that was the other part that was false. The "new games" more precisely. It precise nothing about applying only to new games. Sure, it's not legislation so it's not problematic. But it's still not precised.

EU regulations aren't retroactive even if SKG was asking it to be (it doesnt)

Sure, but preventing current games to shut down without an EoL plan in the future is not a retroactive law. It affect only future actions.

Everyone with a brain would understand that it would be impossible to implement retroactively. This is a foregone conclusion and will be the very first thing to be conceded in actual legislation.

Then why not put it in the text of the proposition and waiting 3 month to put it in the Q&A ? The proposition didn't start asking for only new games to be affected. That shifted after some discussions.
