UK's antitrust agency is going to put the screws to US big tech in 2024

The document, published on Thursday, is quite lengthy, and details scope, hiring plans, and powers that the agency expects it will have. The counter-argument is that individually listing games requires more work and resources to accomplish, and raises the barrier for entry for services.
