I believe there are sequel MMOs to it and they likely didn't want to pay any developers to deal with the changes that they would otherwise pay to work on their new stuff.
- bsder 8y agoI'm sure that's true. But Ragnarok Online is probably the first GDPR affected business I've heard about that I would believe: 1) Paid some actual lawyers to look at compliance 2) Looked at the revenue they are currently getting in the EU 3) Looked at the engineering effort and cost they would have to expend to come into compliance 4) Compared 2 & 3 and decided to pull the plug It's interesting to me because this is the first solid evidence that GDPR does have a real cost to a business isn't a bad actor in spite of what many people otherwise claim.
- ggg9990 8y agoI work at a big company and we are expending huge effort and expense to become GDPR compliant, even though we weren’t really doing anything sketchy beforehand.
