    Weird as hell take. His first example is League of Legends. Yes it is client server based, so give people the server binaries. Despite me not liking the game itself, LoL is huge and it would be shame to lose that history whenever it inevitably dies out.

    And he mentioned that if this law would go through, no one would build live action games anymore. Oh no what a shame that would be… And it is absolutely wrong. Because guess what, the OGs of live action games, Valve, would need to do nothing at all if this went in to action. You can play TF2, CS2 (and yes even CSGO) and DotA 2 today by just running your own server. It’s not that hard.

      I’ve even heard that during big league tornaments, like LCS, Worlds, and other major events, the matches use LAN to minimize lag.
