6:46 pm
well, 1st of all the you would like these companies to take responsibility themselves. they would like them to stop this harmful or illegal content from ever making it onto their platforms. and then to take it down quickly if they find it there. but of course there will be you, regulators keeping a close eye on these 19 companies with at least 45000000 users in the you to make sure that they are doing this. but again, the 1st line of responsibility is with the companies themselves. and so what happens if companies don't divide? and there's some serious penalties possible. the you, of course, is going to give them the chance to amend their practices. because the 1st point of the dsa is to stop this from happening in the 1st place. so they very much want companies to change their practices. but if they don't, the definitely has a big stick in his back pocket. they couldn't be fined up to 6 percent of their annual global turnover, and that's a lot of money for big tech. and they actually could be prevented from operating in
6:47 pm
the u altogether. if all of these other measures fail, the relationship between the you and big tech companies. well, it has been, let's say complicated. and there has been a lot of debate about this law representatives of the tech sector have been waiting and with their opinion, how did the industry prepare for this day when the rules are actually kicking in? yeah, they've certainly had a lot of warning. and as you say, these discussions have been years in the making and you know, there been times when these were going to be optional that they were hoping that big tech police itself, well enough those days are gone now with the dsa going into effect today. and there was a period of consultation and stress testing on these new rules where you, regulators and the companies themselves discussed what to do. and in fact, it many users logging in this morning may have seen these notices in some of their services in some of their, in some of their apps saying what changes the companies are going to make tick.

6:49 pm
amazon and german retailers. ellen though have already log log lodge legal challenges against the dsa. so some of these companies are not complying. a silently dw correspondent terry sills and brussels terry's thanks for the gaming world in person, events are less lowering than they used to be, but tens of thousands still throng the games come and clone this year, building itself as the world's biggest video game, a show games com these days is less about glitzy. game launch is more about connecting p remains a key opportunity for developers to rub shoulders with the gaming industry. for more let's bring it in and i chang, he's the head of the german games developer who go good to have you on the program . my how important is games come for you? a lot to be here because so again, we use for several different purposes and we've been coming for
6:50 pm
a long time except during the veterans demick and we do it for 2 primary reasons. one is for community building, so hostile you that for many of the getting leaders across europe. and this is one of the times a year, we get together and speak to each other. and the 2nd is that we do a pretty as well. so we attend both games console as the comment. yeah. i was just reaching out the answering question. i guess the minor point is when i'm here as well, getting a sense of what's happening in industry. i'm just seeing the other products out there and help me understand better what's happening now. gaming has exploded in popularity. uh, but with so many more options to choose from on the market, getting players to pick your game has become more difficult. how do you deal with that? or i think this is the biggest challenge in trend, especially for the mobile space. the way that we deal with this is that we have our,
6:51 pm
let's say 2 parts marketing versus just how we capture of caesar. so want to play the game are looking for us, and then to set that up or is how do we make sure people are aware of what's in our products and therefore i'm wanting to find it. so both is on the brand. so as long as i'm done before the marketing side, we spend a lot of effort, energy, time people, resources for that. and i think shift the mix. so what we focus changes throughout the life cycle for product. and we'll see this is our main partridge strategy. we started off very much in the forms of course marketing as we get to some point where the customer more difficult, both in the market and also the life of the product is just more of our focus into doing. we're reaching out to just audiences and involvement products to be more fond for more people for a few years now. and i called gaming or even a so called netflix for games that has been discussed in products launch. but there is no one platform that is taking the industry by store. why do you think that is?
6:52 pm
this is a good question. and i think for any of the so called the game changer that is supposed to take them to buy store. i always think about it from 2 perspectives. one is, what is the problem with the following, or what is the value that it brings? and the 2nd one is the execution for what's up to actually good enough to deliver on that promise or solve the problem. and i think when you look at, when i look at cloud, give me a, the agent describe many different problems that would, that would solve this thinking because netflix for games was the idea might be variety of games out, a single cost. and then you look at maybe phones actually do have some options for some of them don't. so the take your controller anywhere and play on any to screen . this may not have a stronger solution for right now. so that could be one of the value that, but then if you look at the solutions that are out there that have been launched even by the biggest players in the space. and, and i think just none of them really delivers on the adding enough value to that
