Well this is more than I thought would happen. One of the vice
presidents of the EU has come out in support of the initiative. Where
it's goes from here is anybody's guess. Something I also noticed,
Videogames Europe is based in Brussels, now I can't imagine why they
choose that location. Maybe they really like Belgian fries with mayo?

 Isn't Brussels the home base of the EU gov't?
 

Well quite, that was the point. It's a lobbying group for the games industry in Europe, where else would they place it.

As such expect this to be bogged down by legalese and take the better
part of a decade to start to get off the ground.
 

The initiative is designed to get the ball rolling on changing consumer law not what the law says at the moment. Where the time will go, if it evens happens, is all member states will want to have their say on the matter. The positive though, no country will be allowed a veto.
I'm still not optimistic that something will happen but I am more optimistic than I was before.
