I'm a little surprised either of them have such a strong opinion about something EU related anyway, given it doesn't affect them directly. Well I guess Louis is just really passionate about that stuff so it's not all that surprising. As for Thor, maybe he's using his online presence to kickstart a live service game himself? Obviously regulations are scary in that case. It's a wild guess from my side but I think that would be on brand for him.

It would affect video game developers that want to publish in the EU.

It likely won't affect Thor directly unless he makes a live-service game in the future. He just thinks it's harmful to the industry and tends to speak out about stuff like that.

Damn, imagine if it passes and devs just don't release in the eu anymore. I mean the best scenario we are all hoping for is it passes and is obliged by everywhere due to the Brussels effect. Doesnt mean it will though.

In the end, it may pass but publishers stop selling in the EU in an official capacity but europeans still digitally buy the games anyway...

No chance. There could be a few exceptions, but there's no shot that would have any amount of widespread adoption.
