Are you a lawmaker or lawyer ?
I just wrote this bcs, if it ever makes it into written law, it surely could have an effect on every online service that has its Headquarters in the US.
Then its up to the courts to decide if this would also apply to large gaming companies.
Terms of service would likely not be able to circumvent that, it rather would render them unlawful.
With me posting this, im just the canary in the coal mine.
Im not a US Citizen, but this could have also an effect on me bcs im a customer of said services.
Im just warning that this might have influence on gaming platforms ( not only EA) and the way they do their daily business.
Guess you just misunderstood my intention posting this.
We saw in the past that such laws can have an influence on gamers, just look at the european GDPR.
Quite somef games and game hosters (especially open source ones) had to remove their online game statistics or change their terms of service or even game code to comply with those local laws.
QL Stats for instance had to make quite some changes on how they treat player stats only bcs of the GDPR and QL Stats is more or less a community project.
And regarding my headline, might be good news for us or bad news, all depending on the companies reaction to such a law.
As small example on how there GDPR had a negative impact on me for instance :
I used to visit several small US news sites, they didnt want to comply with the GDPR and as a result they just region locked their content.
