I LOVE seeing devs bring older PC and console games to Android. Our phones are now WILDLY overkill powerful, and a modern phone can often rival an older PC.
But it's also stupid to see a game like Red Dead Redemption 1 on sale for phones for a PENNY MORE than a bundle of RDR1 & RDR2 on Steam.

An example of what good regulation can really do for technology.
Lots of folks speculating about AirDrop working on the Pixel, if it was reverse engineering, or asking if Apple might break the compatibility. The reality might be a bit more mundane. Seems Apple is just being forced to play by regulators' rules...

HA! The Article of the DMA that "encourages" Apple to allow for better compatibility with competing products (like earbuds, watches, and services like AirDrop) is Article 6(7)!
