Not available in my Country ... :/

Noticed this pattern with Google delaying everything in EU by several months, apparently due to GDPR compliance? They also did that with Gemini when it came out.

It takes forever to get internal compliance signoffs, and typically the product has to be done enough to be clear about what will ship. Why hold it back elsewhere during that time?

Apparently EU is one of these regions. But what’s up with… chess?

Limiting access for EU users is an easy way to sidestep a hell of a lot of potential legal liability. It’s a fast-moving and complex regulatory environment that is focused on punishing/controlling big US businesses.

Option A is to burn a pile of cash and time to keep abreast of it.

Option B is simply… block the EU.

It’s blocked in more than the EU.

It seems it wouldn’t be hard to list the regions it’s available and at least allow a description of what it is. To know if it’s worth using VPN

This is super frustrating to use. There's a character limit of 30 but it seems like whenever it tries to put a line break in the input it just deletes what I was typing.

It didn't recognize essentially any photographer I suggested.

Finally got something joyful when asked to create a chess-set inspired by "rooks". Least-playable chess-set ever :).
