The Commission considers that at this stage it cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially. This is due, also, to existing intellectual property rights. Under EU copyright law, rights holders enjoy exclusive rights over their creations. In addition to copyright, other intellectual property rights may also be relevant as they may protect different visual and technological aspects of a video game.

Damn, if only SKG explicitly stated several times that the initiative doesn't aim to affect ownership of IP or prevent DRM from being used during the game's lifetime :c

rights holders enjoy exclusive rights over their creations.

That's fine so long as they recognize if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.
