The BEUC is making a string of recommendations to the European regulators, the biggest of which are:
An outright ban on the use of in-game and in-app paid currencies, based on the conclusions of the Digital Fairness Fitness Check last updated in August.
Factoring in-app purchases into game age ratings, restricting access for under-18s, more transparency in how games charge for different services, and better guardrails to clarify when players are paying for something extra.
