Everything you're complaining about has been common practice in the PC space for decades.

So why the law change?

That's most games. The only games that don't work that way are multiplayer games that run off of servers. The request is that developers give you the ability to run your own multiplayer server.

So a dev creates a game and nobody signs up to play it. They decide to shut down their servers. Following the rules, they'd have to give players the ability to run their own server. Now anyone can create a server and play it for free, or worse, a large studio runs a successful server and charges people to play a game they didn't make. This change shouldn't apply to server based multiplayer games.

The "We Were Here" series is a fun puzzle co-op game. The first one's free if you want to try before you buy.

Fighter jets defending our country? From who? Are they going to shoot rent and grocery prices?

There are too many people who have way too much money and don't care. Games with aggressive monetization aren't going anywhere but the same is true for games made by passionate devs who care about making a good game. Anyone complaining all games are soulless cash grabs isn't giving smaller indie devs a chance.

I think people sometimes use these on purpose when the acronym is its own word. Pin is a word. You should be able to figure out by context that "enter your pin" doesn't mean stick a small sharp object into the machine but "enter your pin number" makes it immediately clear.

No idea why people say ATM machine.
