I’m actually stunned. “Market harm” is a stupid term and it’s being used for games that aren’t even being sold anymore. Games that most kids or adults aren’t going out of their way to find. Anyone else want to play 8-bit Bug’s Life?
If that game doesn’t have always-online mandates with a subscription and battle passes and obnoxious microtransaction pressures and a “live service” model that may end and take the damn thing away at any time, give me the 8-bit one.

You wanna talk absurd–they argued that making a word processing program from 2004 remotely available for viewing primary sources could represent a “market harm” to modern word processing software.
