I've just came across this EU initiative that fits within the scope of selfhosted.

Basically it's a petition that if reaches 1m signatures (500k to go) from EU countries then it will be debated by the EU and likely passed.

The petition is regarding video games. If you buy a game that REQUIRES online connection and it becomes unprofitable currently publishers will just stop it, making it unplayable even if you've paid for it.

This bill makes it mandatory that in such cases, the publisher has to provide the means of playability in case of cease of operations.
