Who wants to bet the damage caused and profit gained by this action was a lot higher than this?

...but it's a start. And it will have a bigger impact than if there was no penalty at all. 🤷

Yes, absolutely. Still, fines for fortune 500 companies should always be damage+profit gained from the action times two.

I would say damage + profit + %revenue. It should be made to sting.

Yeah, that would work too. As long as they gain absolutely nothing every time they get caught it should already work but I‘m okay with either solution. Just the current situation needs to end soon.

Good that some governments still enforce customer rights against the ever more prevalent attitude in gaming and tech of "you bought it but we still own it"
