by what metric of 'normal'?That Steam stuff is related to this btw- https://epicgames.helpshift.com/a/e...ount-friends-list-via-the-epic-games-launcher
It's fairly normal.
Chinese government surveillance metrics ;P
They're not even hiding their biasRPS: Valve extend Steam Link out of the home and networking API to all developers
"To me, this feels like an escalation after Epic made their cross-platform networking tools available to everyone, but I see no reason to complain."
Thank you, Epic.
It's amazing, we all knew it would happen in the discord too.I can't be the only one laughing my fucking ass off reading those Google threads with people bitching and worrying that Google may get exclusives via money hats, right? The fucking irony. I've been told repeatedly that competition is good.
Same here. That Google conference thread is gonna be legendary.I can't be the only one laughing my fucking ass off reading these Google threads with people bitching and worrying that Google may get exclusives via money hats, right? The fucking irony. I've been told repeatedly that competition is good.
I always got the same prices, in dollars. I'm in Croatia.(in the US at least, I still don't know how they do regions). Not bad.

I'd say they understand gdpr ptretty well.Guys, it is not like Epic didnt already show that they dont understand GDPR laws.
Ok, let me rephare:
sadly yea
Shit what does that make us here in Canada??
Gets enforced in every gov institution here, mobile providers too.
Yeah its enforced in the UK too, but breaking it means nothing, the EU does nothingGets enforced in every gov institution here, mobile providers too.
Just did that, thanks for the link.For those in the EU, reporting it to your Data Protection Authority requires most of times only sending an e-mail.
Artz said that the total fines came to €55.96m – which she observed seemed like a lot [although] almost all of it comes from CNIL's €50m fine for Google.
America's pants.
You wear pants on your head?
Google has so much cash on hand. If they are serious about gaming you better believe moneyhats are on their way.
With Ubisoft showing up at their conference I wouldn't be surprised if they moneyhatted Watch Dogs 3 as a timed exclusive or something. Maybe Google + PC only for a year. I remember W2 wasn't a big seller for Ubi compared to the first so they go could go down that path.
And yea streaming licenses + rights are gonna be a whole new console war shit going forward once this streaming platform race takes off. Timed exclusivity is gonna be a popular word for these next several years. Its gonna be a lot of hypocrisy and Q_Q going on.
50 mln for google it's like tea money, right? not even coffee, tea
That's what someone with an americentric view of the universe would say...

Just had a nightmare vision google partners with epic and google box has epic store as the sole place to get games. can't see it happening but shudders.
That "niche market" being the European fucking Union... (pre-brexit even) is hilarious on its own. Then brushing off GDPR violations as "harmless"... lmao.I've got to say, "GDPR doesn't matter because it only affects a niche market" is one of the wilder things I've read recently.
If anything, it says how pro corporation America isI'm fine with people underestimating the EU and how they apply their laws. Will just come to bite them in the ass big time.
