Hello;
The forums are dying not because of the GDPR dialog box but because they are losing the 12 year old game developers. They have a great easy to learn and use development environment but not many assets to make a game.
The vase majority of game developers never finish a game, and almost none of them care about GDPR dialog boxes. They need to come up to speed quickly and have some nice spiders to shoot.
The loss of rex-rainbow as a serious blow, I have to agree on that.
