Unfortunately, that didn't exist for us back in 2016, and our product is no longer in development.

  So your argument is out of date and no longer valid.

    Right. All I have to do is to stand up two complete copies of my full stack, and support both of them. There's no way that adds extra burden to me. My argument is completely invalid. Thanks for explaining that to me.

      If you want to sell in two different countries don’t you have to comply with two different legal codes and support both of them?

          The purpose of laws is to protect and govern their local citizens. I would hate to live in a world where a law does not get passed because of an argument like "but imagine how much work developers will have to do to follow the law!"

    I like the hot take but it speaks to the bigger point. The dual stack didnt kill the business, nor did the privacy law. The company failed - it is what it is, and it sucks for the team - but you can't blame the EU protecting privacy/rights for bad business.

      Standing up a second stack certainly didn't help. And who knows what the opportunity cost was.
