It’s a sad day for Rainbow Six Siege’s most hardcore fans. R6DB, the most popular destination for detailed player stat tracking in Siege, is shutting its doors on August 20. The closure has been finalized after a three-month struggle to recover from the new standards required of GDPR, the European data protection regulation enacted in May that most would recognize as the wave of legally-obligated emails that arrived in their inboxes earlier this year.

GDPR compliance boils down to a few key standards: the right to be forgotten, the right to know who can see your personal info, and for corporations to not store personal information without a real purpose. Any company wishing to operate in Europe (read: most companies) is beholden to comply or face fines. For many websites with access to legal teams or security experts, compliance was a relatively painless process. But for a small site like R6DB that inherently relies on player information, it was a much bigger ask.
