First time I see GDPR violation this brazen. While writing this comment I finally figured out how to reject consent (clicking on “Purposes” and manually deselecting each purpose).
I double checked with remote debugging, the button is not just hidden in CSS; it’s missing entirely:
Good find, I had assumed people around here would at least have uBlock Origin with at least one Annoyances filter on (or similar), this is possible via Firefox mobile as well. I didn’t get the prompt as well on desktop, probably because of the Annoyances filter that blocks the consent prompts anyway.
Here’s an archived link, not sure if that helps: archive.is/qHSPD
I have uBlock Origin but didn’t bother configuring any additional filters. My desktop has consent-o-matic as well I think (which unlike a filter actually auto-rejects the tracking stuff).
However on a new profile (no extensions) I didn’t get the prompt, and neither did I on chromium. Just checked on windows as well, still not prompt. So it seems to just not prompt on desktop for some reason… I wonder if that means the tracking is disabled or they just auto-consent.
Those ones are still under litigation AFAIK. Last I heard about it they lost their latest court case but it will be years before it reaches the top EU courts or an amendment is made to the GDPR.
Some people are just wildly anti streaming gaming, maybe they’ve got internet that isn’t fit for it or maybe they’re extremely sensitive to fidelity, but they exist. Personally, I use game pass streaming on my steam deck quite a bit and it’s a good experience.
