I'd hardly count something like a simple Solitaire clone app that could be otherwise played for free as a full game release... In terms of actual games, I'd much rather support mobile ports that can be bought for a one time price tag than those that are locked behind a subscription in perpetuity.
For those worried about blocking certain viewpoints, it's important to note that the sources on the list aren't there for the unpopularity of their opinions, but rather the frequent publication of misinformation. For instance, Fox News, despite its frequent bias, is not one of the publications on the list.
As others have noted, the list can essentially be summarized as state-sponsored, tabloid, and extremist media outlets that, intentionally or not, have editing standards that result in misinformation on a regular basis.
Good on the EU for supporting consumer rights over corporate profits.
If the American Dream were realistic, we wouldn't be calling it a dream...
They could still hold onto the land and Ukrainian population they've taken so far. Anything less than Ukraine regaining Crimea and the rest of its territory will not only be a loss for them, but would tell the Russian government that the West would rather appease them than let allow a conflict to escalate further. Appeasement didn't work on Hitler, and it won't work on Putin either.
Unless the EU makes Apple get rid of the yearly cost per installation, any app store other than Apple's is limited by the inability to have free or freemium apps, giving them a substantial disadvantage in comparison.
They need to self-host their repository if they don't want to end up in the same situation...
Better to wait for more details to come out than to speculate wildly.
As long as they participate in Steam sales, assuming they're on Steam to begin with, PC games are more convenient to have in a library where I don't have to manually update each game. Valve's not perfect, with its 30% cut of sales being arguably too high (as is the case for all other platforms that defend its use as being an "industry standard"), but given Nintendo's monetization of online gameplay and replacing the Virtual Console system with what is essentially console library rentals, I don't mind putting up with updating Switch ROMs once in a blue moon if it means not supporting anti-consumer practices. Any games I had in my Switch library that are also on Steam I simply repurchased for the sake of convenience, however.
Can't sell boats anymore, they clearly facilitate piracy at a colossal scale. /s
Or when they popularized the concept of "base" and "complete" editions as a means of turning a $60 game into a $90 game.
