    Out of the non-free games 2/6 platinum games have DRM. 8/9 gold games have drm. And that’s ignoring DRM via being live service game without support for self hosting server (a big portion if you also check the silver games).

    Disclaimer, I used perplexity.ai to ask if each individual game included drm or not. Ignoring DRM that is one time verification and support offline play.

    This new law should absolutely include every game store on the Internet.

    If you buy a game on GOG, you can download the game and put it on 100 USB sticks and sell each one of them with a fully working copy for perpetuity. You buy the game on GOG. Just because the shop may go down doesn’t mean you lose your product.
