> Companies that breach the DSA risk fines of as much as 6% of their annual global sales. It's nuts that this is all they can manage. Like, take 30% or 40% -- that might actually encourage compliance. I think they'll comply, but almost entirely not because of small fines.

"must also file transparency reports, detail risk mitigation plans and pay an annual fee to the European Commission." This is just another shake down. Quickly becoming the least business friendly place on Earth.

Roblox should be outright banned in the EU or at least the top 100 games all qualify for what would be considered lootboxes/gambling and generally predatory behavior. Basically every single action you can do has a "robux" alternative which is faster/better + boosts cost robux. Then there's the worst of them all: trading card games. Another problem is that nothing carries over between games so as the algorithm shifts you're forced to spend robux all over again.

Parents who let their kids play Roblox stun me. That is a cesspit of pedophiles, gambling, child exploitation, and bullying.
