The Commission cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially.

Reading this I see the following:

The commission cannot propose a legal obligation to keep an appliance, machine, car, tractor working after a company chooses go stop providing/selling it commercially.

Look like as soon as those heated seat subscription servers go down you won't be able to reactive your cars seats.
