The arguments of they never "usually" do this, or "the guidance says" are meaningless. Whatever can be used for control, will be.

"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" is a French game, (the user's name is expedition 32) and this sounds like something the French would love, so I'm thinking France, but I'm only hypothesizing.

Trusting startups to dispose of it properly if they go bankrupt seems like an absolute disaster waiting to happen.
