Not sure if I’d call this “peril…” Call me a boomer, but if killing deliberately addicting feedback loops spells peril for the industry, then the industry has lost the plot.
This won’t affect anything I enjoy playing at all.
Sounds like it only affects shitty games.
Microtransactions are just an even more inbred cousin of nft’s where there was never even a theoretical possibility of real value. Dailies and such are cancer if you have to work or do literally anything in real life. This would be a welcome change.
I can’t believe I’m calling China based for the second time in my life
I have not really seen any reports or studies that show the harm of loose gaming policies. Yes, some are addicted and it is an issue, but is this worthy of government intervention in the context of all other issues? I am unsure. Love to see the data which seems to be absent here.
A lot of these microtransactions are designed to prey on vulnerable individuals, at the expense of making the games worse for those who don’t pay. It’s an exploitative business model that should be outlawed.
It must be a real issue for them because it’s a revenue stream via taxes as well, so they made this decision knowing it has a direct cost.
