The dominant EU music streamer by far is still complaining Apple has too much power
Spotify by far has the largest music streaming share in the EU and has now enlisted smaller services to go in with it on a complaint saying that Apple is defying the Digital Markets Act.
Spotify’s app in the EUDigital Music Europe is a trade group that contains the EU’s streaming powerhouse Spotify, alongside smaller services Deezer, Qobuz, Soundcloud, Soundcharts, and Hamendo. According to its own mandate it aims to “support policies that promote fair competition and innovation for digital music services.”
Another goal it claims to have is to “encourage a ‘light touch’ approach to regulation that reflects the complexity of the music industry and the challenges faced by innovators.”

A San Francisco highway near Apple Park wasn’t pretty enough, so it got deleted
Apple’s “Let Loose” event showed commuters looking at their iPads instead of the scenery — but what they missed was a view of San Francisco’s Bay Area that doesn’t exist.
John Ternus was on a new BART railcar, but not everything Apple showed outside was realIt sounds like something Apple Maps would have done when it launched, but this time it was deliberate. Apple quite painstakingly altered its footage of San Francisco used in its “Let Loose” event in order to create a prettier shot.
Viewers may have suspected that the Apple’s John Ternus was enthusing about the iPad from within a set instead of a real train. But the panning shot across the country from Apple Park to that commuter train was definitely fake — or at least one key part of it was.

Sonic Mania Plus and Braid come to Netflix’s gaming library
Netflix has added Sonic Mania Plus to its roster of games subscribers can access for free on mobile without ads or in-app purchases. The company first announced that it was going to add the title to its lineup, along with Game Dev Tycoon, back in December 2023. Sonic Mania Plus was developed for the franchise’s 25th anniversary by fans known for their Sonic fangame creations and for their work in the ROM hacking community. It is frequently cited as one of the best Sonic games of all time ever since the original version was released in 2017. Sonic Mania Plus, which came out in 2018, includes additional content. Netflix says the version in its library will come with new levels and bosses, as well.
On May 14th, Netflix is also adding the anniversary edition of Braid to its gaming lineup. Braid is a time-manipulation platformer, where players control a character called Tim who has to explore old memories across interconnected worlds to find and rescue a princess. Its anniversary edition features upgraded audio, new animation sequences, fully repainted graphics and more puzzles to solve, along with 15 hours of audio commentary discussing the game’s development.
In addition to those two titles, Netflix’s gaming library is also getting top-down puzzle adventure Paper Trail on May 21 and a Stories game based on the series Virgin River on May 29. The 2019 platformer Katana Zero, which features a katana-wielding assassin in a dystopian setting, will also make its way to Netflix games, though the company doesn’t have a date for its arrival yet.
