Η Goodgame Studios is an online company of games founded in 2009 and based in Hamburg. The company has created many games, such as Goodgame Empire, Goodgame Big Farm, Goodgame Galaxy, Goodgame Gangster, Goodgame Poker, and Shadow Kings: Dark Ages.
However, it seems that the independent administration of the “Game Supervisory and Audit Committee” (EEPC) also excluded this company because it offers unlicensed gambling and betting services.
Almost immediately after the implementation of the blockade, the E.E.E.P. announced the exemption of certain games such as Big Farm which are not considered games of chance. Of course, immediately after the exemption from the E.E.E.P., the exemption from the Greek service providers should also follow Internet.
But from the day of exclusion to this day, almost two weeks have passed, and according to members of the website, there are several providers still banning access to the excluded games.
Connection is always possible with VPN, or Public DNS, as well as applications that hide your computer's (Tor) IP. But why need such solutions to play it Big Farm;
Another example of universal exclusion by the SCC following exclusion and removal at zoo.gr.
Zoo.gr has managed to lift the blockade and come out of the black list after many attempts. In particular, its web site administrators had to send an urgent protest to the committee asking for the following:
- immediate written notification of why the page has been included in the block list
– the immediate dispatch of a relevant one reports which explicitly mentions the type of violation.
- because their decision was taken without the hearing of the stakeholders as they ought to have been based on the principles and rules of the Committee.
After the immediate response of the Hellenic Public Company Ltd, the issue seems to have been resolved.
Here also comes the line of online service providers who, after the lifting of the blockade, had to implement it immediately.
The direct seems to lie in the diareview discretion of the providers, because as you know, we live in Greece, and "immediately" is translated by everyone as they think.
Meanwhile, many gaming friends (among them many children) are expecting an "immediate" response from online distribution companies such as CYTA and WIND.
