A new challenger has entered the "Epic vs Apple" fray, but is South Korea's new "anti-google" bill as significant to the tech titans as some have assumed?

There's a difference between rights and means..in Virtual Legality.

It's our annual (semi-annual?), let's respond to some...interesting claims made on YouTube episode!

In this installment - Is Roblox, one of the most popular gaming platforms in the world, exploiting your child? What you don't know...probably won't change your understanding of the underlying voluntary transactions at play here.

That said, there's much to discuss as Shut Up and Sit Down's Quintin Smith gets *extravagant* on behalf of People Make Games.

Nobody needs to Shut Up, but we should probably have a bit of a Sit Down...in Virtual Legality.
