[…]an economic operator shall not be exempted from liability where the defectiveness of a product is due to any of the following, provided that it is within the manufacturer’s control:
(a)a related service;
(b)software, including software updates or upgrades;
(c)a lack of software updates or upgrades necessary to maintain safety;
(d)a substantial modification of the product.
Not sure if (a) or (d) would be more applicable, but I think it would be covered ?

If you look at page 51 it says:

Yeah, looks like D would apply but I afraid it would have to be tested in court. Game companies won't go without a fight.
