Comment on The Epic Games Store Officially Launches on Mobile Devices
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoThe iOS version also has nothing to do with their lawsuit of Apple, they lost that one. It’s due to an unrelated law in the EU, which is why this is only available in the EU.

There’s absolutely no way it is a coincidence and unrelated. Epic drew attention to it. EU followed through.

So your source is just a gut feeling? Back it up

My source is basic logic and reason, what’s yours?
rowdyrockets@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Someone already sent you the link to DMA and you responded with “coincidence”. Your logic has failed you
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The EU has had digital legislations since long before that lawsuit. Or do you think Epic is also responsible for GDPR?.
So you think that the European commission saw a lawsuit in a different country and decided “We need that” then rushed to write the entirety of DMA in less than 4 months. If you think DMA and Epic lawsuits are related the most possible order of events is that Epic saw what was going to be passed in the EU and decided to suit Apple and Google to get the same in the USA

…are you not aware that GDPR and DMA are not the same thing?
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Never claimed they were, I pointed out that DMA is not in a void, EU has multiple laws in that direction, DMA is an extension of GDPR.
