We have a user base of 100k users with my indie game and what we are thinking is exactly that, stop sending anything and then ask them in-game or on our website to subscribe again (which is ridiculous) as we cannot really know if the user lives in Canada or not. Microsoft does not want to take any risk and open themselves to stupid people who will sue them the day they will receive one single email from them even if it is not spam but something like a security issue or anything important. |
Except, apparently if this article is right, that MS would be fine to send emails based on security issues etc. Since that would follow the warranty part of the law.
