With 14% of players playing 2025 titles on Steam and new initiatives like GameDate to play old-time multiplayer classics, how likely AAA studios aka corporatations aka stakeholder interests will try to sabotage people's own ways to force people to play their shiit live-service games?

Doubtful initiatives like GameDate will be a threat to live service gaming. The audience excited for GameDate are likely not the types who would pay for live service either way.
