Quoting someone from another site:

Some key things:

  1. The real world price must be displayed for the item, not just the currency (ie, an outfit should say $24 next to it, not just 2800 vbucks).

  2. Currencies must be exactly matchable to purchase amounts, so no 1000 point packages for 800 point items to leave 200 extra

It’s nice to see some government documents that genuinely understand how these currencies are being used in manipulative ways.

    If you look at how the EU is handling the Digital Markets Act - it’s gonna be fines.

      so lootboxes were never diabled?

      Pretty sure I’ve heard users from these regions mention that they had their shops completely unavailable in certain games

      But fines wouldnt be an issue here either to me, maybe Im missing something

        Those were local measures that were not handled by the European Union.
