They're scared sh*tless, it's a joy to watch!

I honestly had expected to read many more of these types of articles, given the way the mainstream media has protected the major sports gaming franchises for far too long with outrageously positive reviews on iterations that barely improved upon the previous one.
I get that the article is trying to make everyone care about the poor poor billion-dollar franchises who need their microtransaction money or else!; but the thing is, I don't give a flying sh*t. For all I care, all of them could go bankrupt tomorrow. As long as there's talented people out there with a vision of what a sports game should be (I don't doubt for a second that they exist), and know how to captivate an audience without being accused of being shameless, greedy bastards, new sports games franchises would inevitably appear and all of our hearts would go on, playing the best of those. Ain't free market grand?
It's the same free market that up until the 00s allowed for countless football games to enter the scene and compete for people's attention. If PES and FIFA ceased to exist, such a scene would be seen again. And yes, inevitably, as it has happened before when people naturally gravitated towards the best football games which were PES and FIFA, once again the best games would overcome and defeat the others.
And if you know me, you know I had to say this as well: even in some absurd scenario in which no more football games would ever be produced again, there's a huge catalog of great, entertaining games released over the last decades. It's not as if there's a shortage of quality entertainment out there...
So I really don't see how the author of that article could make any reasonable gamer care about this issue. He did try with his fear-mongering. If this bill passes, then the ball is on the devs' court and either they'll adapt to the new scene and abide by the law; or if they don't want to, then they shall take their ball and go home and cancel their franchise. And I'll sit back and enjoy the show.
