PEGI is making big changes to Euro game ratings this summer, to factor in things like paid in-game purchases. US age ratings body ESRB it won’t do the same
I would really enjoy if games that had paid loot boxes (ie, gambling) were marked M for Mature. Would cut that shit out fast.
If it doesn’t involve real money in any form or way, it’s not actually gambling.
EU is not going to classify WoW as gambling for example, just because you can find chests in dungeons that give random loot that has no connection whatsoever with real money.
Tho they are looking into forcing every game shop to show the real money value of what you’re buying alongside all the fake currencies companies invented to hide it, but that’s a different law they’re making.
