Argue with Americans about how it's a sin against the God of Capital to stop a corpo from raping you

You say this but the EU has better rights for consoomers than America which is why SKG gave up on America in the first place. EU has a lot of sales pull and as we've seen with literally everything else in gaming they'll prioritize total sales rather than lose out on the entire EU as a market. If they just have to make their game and licensing agreements work perpetually then risk is worth far less than the reward.
European consoomer rights are a joke, they literally never a benefit you in actual real life. Infact I have encountered companies blatantly breaking such simple things like providing replacement for a broken part and when reported the EU basically told me to eat shit.
>with literally everything else in gaming they'll prioritize total sales rather than lose out on the entire EU as a market
Jap companies would sometimes lose out on half the worlds sales because they couldn't be bothered to translate their game to english. In reality I think it will be quite rare for this to happen (but not 0) but what I am more afraid of is companies preemtively leaving due to an increasingly hostile market. And there is also a chance where the EU will make the rules so draconian and insane that it will actively lead to a lot of unrelated shit just being illegal like with GDPR or with the recent smartphone guaranteed 7 years of part replacement insanity.

Japan might be a bad example in this case - for literal decades they basically marketed and catered to Glorious Nippon and saw the International Market as Bonus Points. Considering Japan's current aging population problems that's likely going to change at some point, but they're more an outlier than an example.
 
Europe can be blamed for many things, but consumer rights are the last thing you would blame it for. Shut the fuck up, baiting faggot.
I have experienced it first hand. When it matters they don't apply and dont give a shit about them.

Okay now enjoy using usb-c in 2040 and and never innovating on it. Another great decision by the communists who want a planned economy for this continent.

Your operative word here is sometimes, this is also because they culturally like to gatekeep.

I sincerely think this isn't a big loss. If the idea of providing an end of life plan is so bad that you leave the market you probably weren't providing anything worth saving anyways.

Sample size of one, you'll need to provide a lot more detail on the how and why of this.

It would figure that you're also against privacy lmaooooo would anyone please think of the rights of the corporate entity?

I think companies will increasingly see the EU market as a bonus too. Hell, apple, microsoft, google are already delaying or just not bringing out features or updates in the EU. Also it doesn't help that the whole EU is increasingly more more and impoverished and older.

Nigga please, with some small exception people in EU have 2 year warranty on everything. And manufacturers can't tell them to go fuck themselves unless they prove beyond reasonable doubt it was user error. If you think that’s a joke, then how would you describe the situation in the US, where warranties can be as short as three months?

GDPR also prevents companies from collecting potentially useful usage statistics from their userbase. Also about privacy the EU is currently trying to pass a legalization that would build a backdoor into every single messaging app and would outlaw anything else that doesn't allow it.

Yeah, it more innovative when you had Apple sticking with the Lightning port at USB 2 speeds or charged 50 Euros for an HDMI converter in their 2020 1000+ EUR phone.
 
Or how about just not having retarded restrictive laws in place? Instead of relying on like a central legalisative body of unelected communists to decide when to make a new tech mandatory or not.
That's a nice Lolbertarian way of looking at it, but it's clear companies, if left to their own devices, will absolutely shit on the customer. The game industry has proven time and time again that it needs the heavy hand of government as it's not able to self govern. The days of the ESRB are long gone.
 
Because the industry is too retarded to self regulate?
I don't think charging ports are something so important that you need to regulate. Also this exact thinking led to the downfall of the european tech industry and car industry. You can't just make a normal affordable car, it has to have 6 million different green certifications so after that nobody living here can afford them thanks to the insanely low wages. And after other countries also started making cars (china) the export based industry just fucking collapsed.
