Comment on The Epic Games Store Officially Launches on Mobile Devices
helenslunch@feddit.nl 4 weeks agoThere’s absolutely no way it is a coincidence and unrelated. Epic drew attention to it. EU followed through.
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?
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.
Never claimed they were
I think it’s pretty clear you were implying they were somehow related when they’re clearly not.
DMA is an extension of GDPR.
No it is not.

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

My source is basic logic and reason, what’s yours?

Someone already sent you the link to DMA and you responded with “coincidence”. Your logic has failed you

I don’t need a link to the DMA. I’ve known about it since before it existed. If you think it is coincidence that it was created shortly after the Epic v Apple lawsuit while addressing the exact same problem, your logic has failed you.
