$49 M fine? So, basically, legal for a fee?

I googled and apparently kick has been doing 180 million revenue yearly, so this is refreshingly high in terms of a fine.

Revenue != profit

Depending on margins, it can make a company unprofitable pretty quick if they're hit by a fine of nearly 30% of their revenue.
