Consumer protection authorities across the European Union have launched a coordinated action targeting video game companies, according to Anadolu Agency.
The European Commission said the action follows guidelines on EU consumer law designed to promote greater transparency and fairness in how video game companies interact with consumers.
Details on which specific companies are affected or what particular consumer practices are under scrutiny were not disclosed in the available report, but the coordinated nature of the action suggests involvement from multiple national consumer authorities across EU member states.
The move adds to a broader pattern of EU regulatory attention on the video game industry, an increasingly significant part of the digital economy, as authorities continue to examine issues such as in-game purchases, loot boxes and other consumer-facing practices.
