Basically by eliminating IP rights, what you're suggesting is to make games not commercially viable. Do you expect content creators to work for free?

What will happen is the money is invested into other industries and we'll see another video game crash like in the 80's.

Nobody is eliminating all IP rights. This is about games that are shutdown that they aren't making any money off of anyway.

Additionally, IP rights are already way too strict, and with technology we don't need nearly as much investment into it to make games. Productivity is massively improving. Huge R&D simply isn't needed anymore.

Nobody but you mentioned “eliminating” IP rights. Stop being disingenuous
