The European Commission released their full position now on the Stop Destroying Videogames initiative, and it's not the response many will have been hoping for.

For context: Ross Scott made a video explaining the situation. The Commission has been meeting with lobbyists frequently and had been essentially stonewalling the initiative for some time now. This was the expected outcome.

However, he still has the support of the European parliament, so they will seek to amend an existing law (which can be done through the Parliament), rather than create a new law (which must be done through the Commission). There is high confidence that this will happen, this path will just take longer

Almost correct. The process of creating a new law in the EU is the following:

  1. The Commission proposes a law
  2. Parliament and the Council rewrite the legal text handed to them from the Commission
  3. The three bodies find a compromise between the original texts and their respective edits

Since the Commission refuses to do step one the initiative plans to get parliament to get the desired changes into a law that's currently at step two (the digital fairness act). So it's still a new law that's not yet in effect and the process is technically shorter (because we are skipping step one)
