> continue to play them with a third party patch to their client

so hoping that a third party patch can fix the issue. hoping it does. sounds like a very hopeless "legal" workaround

Happens ALL the time. Players even figure out how to emulate MMO servers by sniffing network traffic. When people want to play the game, they will find a way.

I'm not saying it does not "happen ALL the time", but this proposed EU law would make that job easier for the third party solutions, instead of "hoping" for one.
