European consumer groups on Thursday accused the world’s biggest video game companies of “purposefully tricking” consumers, including children, to push them to spend more.
I feel like being brought back when EA was taken to the EU court for “gambling”, IIRC.
I agree with the proposal, but to be honest parents should not give money to children to spend on in-game currencies, unless they are truly aware of how easy it is to overspend. Parents should also take part of the blame, as kids cannot purchase any in-game items without a debit card.
I hope they’re successful in getting something done about it. It’s nuts that the industry standard is to separate the notion of real world money from purchases, and pricing things so that it’s impossible not to spend more than the price of a single purchase.
It’s so blatantly scummy it’s crazy that most people just accept it, even disregarding the fact it’s almost always aimed at children as well.
