Is your argument that companies would be forced to obey the laws if they are mandated to open source discontinued games? And it's a... bad thing?

Not OP, but it's more the warning not to underestimate the cost required for compliance, and apprehension of this cost may deter their creation.
Huh? The point is that game developers would never be able to use commercial libraries again. Thus making all development significantly more expensive.
But what commercial software licenses are you using to write backend server architecture for a video game? There's no need for a dependency on FMOD or anything (unless you're doing something very unusual)
