yeah, in total you've only spent a couple seconds on forums, right?

because we all know that license agreements are a line that trojan distributors will not cross. Not malware distribution, not hacking laws, but copyright infringement. They'd never do that at all.

I believe it would be significantly easier to submit a takedown request for copyright issues, compared to reporting an app for being malicious.

You can also turn off the ad in the manager via a toggle.

It's nice, but I wish it had sponsorblock support, though I'm not sure if it's something they'll add.

might have something to do with their motto "don't make us popular"

dumb decision to dedicate yourself to a proprietary game's little microtransaction market now aint it.

Owners of CSGO(CS2) 3rd party marketplaces seem to be making a killing off of fees, so it can be done successfully. But I doubt that Rocket League trading sites see anywhere near the volume of CS2 sites.

Why in gods name would a game remove trading after it'd been around for a while?

Jagex removed trading from RuneScape back in the day, for less greedy purposes than Epic is doing here, and it effectively killed their game.

You don't want to understand, am I right? I don't get you.

No, I understand. You are fine with regional pricing as long as there's absolutely no way to enforce regional pricing. Which, when talking about a purely digital storefront, means there will be no more regional pricing.

This has already started happening in some regard. Recently, many games on Steam have already had their regional pricing removed, to the ire of gamers in poorer regions.

Truly a massive W

No that's exactly the same thing.

No it's not. Telling someone from California that they can't buy products in Mississippi is WAY different than telling them they are offered a different price in the two states. They are not told that they can't buy it. Your analogy does not translate to the situation.

What they ~~don't can~~ [can't do] is tell other EU citizens that they are not able to buy the product in those EU countries.

That's not what they're told though. They are told "yes, you can buy our product."

I don't know why you can't understand this simple fact.

What you're saying doesn't make sense. You're telling me you don't have a problem with regional pricing (within the EU) on digital goods, but you're stating that companies must offer that same 'regional' pricing to everyone (within the EU).. that's no longer regional pricing, it's all just one price then. These two lines of thought completely contradict each other. How can you have regional pricing if you want everyone from every region to be offered the same price?

Do you really think that companies who offer discounts on digital goods to buyers in poorer regions are being nefarious? If the companies are not able to regionally price the games, then they cannot offer a discount to the poorer regions, and all that happens is everyone in the poorer regions ends up paying more.

So someone from California can't buy products in Mississippi, that's just fair - or it's ok just because it's via the internet?

this is not the same thing.

regional pricing does not block people from buying the game.

regional pricing allows people in poorer countries to afford games.

I do not see a problem with companies offering discounts to people who would not otherwise be able to afford their product.
