Now that the Stop Killing Games initiative and petition have passed 1 million signatures in the EU, I thought it could be interesting to think about what the resulting directive might be like. The write up is based on my experiences with the European Accessibility Act, which is an EU directive.
I mostly focus on the concerns and possible exceptions the directive might have that are of interest to game developers.

IT Security, Standards, and Compliance
You can often see the classic divide between technical and compliance persons in information technology within teams or organisations.

You can often see the classic divide between technical and compliance persons in information technology within teams or organisations. Writing guidelines and writing configurations for implementation seem very different, with no overlaps. In reality, everyone has procedures. While they might not be written or follow a standardized format, having your ways of doing things is crucial to succeed in IT. The same goes for security. Creating policy documents and describing procedures in a way that technical minds can actually use them is a challenge.

Tonight the EU-trilogue on gig work continues. The #Uber lobbymachine had a fierce and expensive campaign that could have paid #drivers and #riders a decent wage for years. A group of brave #riders hopped on their bikes and rode from #Paris to #Brussels this week to lobby for a decent workers status. The biketour ended at Shuman where they are holding an action now, from 19.00 till 23.00 #gigwork #EUDirective #workers #Union

The deadline for the implementation of this directive is 17
