Return copyright to 7+7 years, and require all of a game's source code and assets to be made public as a condition for it receiving any copyright protection. This should resolve most of the problems people have with the industry, and it would be easy to enforce without needing direct intervention into the industry.

  • Remakes that change things would never happen again because anyone can make them.
  • Milking sequels forever wouldn't work because anyone can put out Assassin's Creed games that have mods on top.
  • Even live games like WoW or LoL would have to compete against their own classic renditions, so companies gradually shitting up games would be less common.

Red Dead Redemption for example would be in public domain already, and there'd probably be a no-woke remake version ready the day the copyright protection dropped.
