MOBA Super MNC Closes Due to European Data Protection Law

The creators of the free-play MOBA action movie Super Monday Night Club decided to close the project. It turned out to be unprofitable for Uber Entertainment to support the game after the entry into force of the GDPR — the regulation on the protection of user data, which will begin to operate in the European Union from May 25.

Representatives of the studio reported that the multiplayer system of the game does not meet the requirements of GDPR, and its processing will cost more than they can afford.

The developers promised the players a “farewell party”, for which they will give each Super MNC user $ 10 thousand in game currency.

The game servers will go offline on May 24, the day before the EU regulations come into force.

According to the Steam Spy service, the number of Super Monday Night Club owners on Steam totals up to 2 million people.

General Data Protection Regulation

The GDPR regulation applies to all companies processing personal data of residents and residents of the European Union.

It imposes restrictions on the amount of data collected and the period of their storage, and also obliges companies to protect this information from third parties.

For violating the law, companies can be fined up to € 20 million or recover up to 4% of the annual turnover of the enterprise.
