But can't the site owners just ignore the EU fines? What enforcement power does the EU have?

Hey ChatGPT, how can I ...
"Locking as this is a duplicate of [unrelated question]"
Wait, there are ethnicities other than "white" and "not white"?
What a weird thing to say about a company that had $2.5B in revenue last year and 17M paying subscribers.
It's like saying "who users gmail these days?", where the answer is a shit ton of people just not the early adopters that have moved on.
Isn't that an argument for the existence of this post? Many don't know this, well, now they do.
Also, something like 30% of PC gamers pirate their games
That’s definitely not true. I wish it was.
It's just Spiders Georg bringing the average up.
I think performant is probably the key thing here. There were ad blockers before and there are alternative ones now, but the thing that sets unlock Origin apart is how light weight it is.
When you have a small market niche, competition can kill both companies. I'm not worried about options, I'm worried that soon both companies won't exist.
This says you have been able to buy a Fairphone in the US since July last year, unless I've misunderstood?
I hope not phones. Fairphone has the repairable market, and that would take away from Framework as well as Framework taking away from Fairphone, making both weaker.
Maybe tablets would make sense, if you could reuse components from the laptops.
I guess you don't really know what kind of games you like?
Some good ones to try would be Skyrim or The Witcher 3 or Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 for open world RPGs, Road Rampage or any Need For Speed game for arcade racing, Mini Metro for a casual puzzle game, Stardew Valley for a casual farming/life sim, Bioshock 1, 2, and 3 for a first person shooter, the recent Tomb Raider games for third person adventure, Dishonored 1 and 2 for stealth, Civilisation V (or any other) for turn based strategy.
Well, really just go find super popular games and give then a go. Easiest is to get them on Steam and they should just work on Linux and refund them if they don't, though you can still play non-Steam games and you can check on protondb.com if others have had success (Proton is Steam's wine-based tool for playing Windows games on Linux).
Wow, really?
Like I get Apple or Netflix or whatever. They ignore a fine they will just not be allowed to operate in the EU.
But you're saying the US has laws that say US companies have to follow EU rules?
