if the servers or the company running the servers aren't located in Europe what can the EC do to penalize them?

they can block their bank transfers via treaties & seize any assets within jurisdiction but really they will probably not do anything because the game is so old i cant believe it even exists

listen: the company has already cut off contact with the EU. theyve banned european users. they dont want to be there.

the hypothetical was whether intrepid free-market europeans would be able to use their service or lack of same anyway

to the extent GDPR is relevant, which I guess is a stretch for a security thread, its enforceability and applicability probably are too?

fwiw i think storage of data (and whether GDPR is correct/sufficient/applicable or not) is a security issue

I'll just point out that most of the major tech companies use a subsidiary corporation in Ireland as a tax dodge. They, and by extension all the money flowing through, are in the EU jurisdiction.

ya but arguments about jurisdiction can go elsewhere. it's a good framework for getting a company to know how data flows inside of it and the penalties are tertiary to getting a basic understanding of that across businesses

Ive been playing a bit again. The server is pretty empty, usually 100 people on. I last played on this server back in 2013 and it seems like all the old accounts are gone.

Did anyone expect any different?
Compliance with GDPR is a business decision for companies like any other compliance question. For example if paying a fine is cheaper than actually being compliant they will do so.
In this case they figured they only had very few users in Europe and decided to drop them instead of investing money. The money from EU subs isn't enough to justify the investment.

Makes perfect sense to me.

If this is to be believed, the official international main Ragnarok Online server have under 2,000 average concurrent, which is lower than what some private servers pull. It doesn't surprise me that they don't want to bother with compliance.

ed: I checked one of the biggest private servers' news page and they've announced GDPR compliance, so, lol

how many europeans still play a 16 year old game though? probably they decided to ditch the 5 active users instead of overhauling their entire account system (that is apparently for some reason wildly incompatible with basic decency?)

the game can still be good fun in small doses, but as is usually the thing with games, it's good despite the incompetence, not because of it. it's probably leaking user data on every step of the way.

i guess some private server will get an influx of the ~300 active users and that'll be the end of that story

ETERNALBLUE is a problem of a "store word" instruction with a dword value

While I'm pretty sure IA-64 has st2 (store 2 bytes), the compiler did not optimize (or maybe it over-optimized, or the C was too explicit) and therefore this srv.sys driver uses two st1 instructions
