If it happens, verification at least won't be complex as it already often comes down to verification via credit card or Google wallet, etc.. Germans will be able to use their ID as it got a NFC chip. I just wish I could verify my age on Steam already, the NSFW games ban is annoying..

Age verification won't be connected to a name, also not by using the ID. It will just generate a code. So they say at least... If they would be intelligent, they would go by account age first, like discord does. And check the purchase history of people for CC usage.

Non-personal communication game like Mario Kart shouldn't be affected. Others would have to age-wall chats and disable microtransactions. I hope they don't go the hardline Brazil way, they are taking it too far. Right now I'm more scared about educational websites becoming UK-style age restricted.
