European rating organization PEGI It will begin to mark a separate badge of the game in which there is microtransactions. According to Eurogamer, previously the Donat was reported only in digital releases, and now the signal will be applied to boxed publications.
Boss PEGI Simon Little (Simon Little) says that physical distribution still remains an important part of the market, so the organization had to fill in a gap with microtransactions. Like, parents who are poorly versed in video games are required to know what they acquire their child. How hopes PEGI, Adults, having seen a warning about intra -game payments, will be more attentive to what virtual entertainment awaits their child.
It is assumed that the mark will appear on physical publications closer to the end of the year. Likely, FIFA, Call of Duty, Battlefield and other similar autumn releases that profit from the customer boom before Christmas will fall into European stores already with a warning about microtransactions.
According to data PEGI, Among all families where children play video games, about 40 % of children spend money on Donat. Moreover, most parents limit the number of in -game purchases from their offspring one way or another.
Before Russia, a mark on microtransactions is unlikely to get. In our country PEGI It does not work, but instead of it – a system of ratings, where the age -holder himself indicates the age category.
We assume that PEGI I fussed in the light of scandals around the Lutboxes: in the Netherlands and Belgium they have already achieved a partial disconnection of microtransactions.

Minute, and if you look https://noverificationcasinos.co.uk/review/ybets/ at everything from a different point of view. Why is it useless? I, as a buyer, would like to know what type of content I will get by buying a project. Suppose I am neutral about the depicted violence and mother, but at the same time I negatively look at any types of donat. Such a warning will be as useful as other marks that PEGI puts. What can we say about parents who plan their child to buy FIFA 19 or like that. So this is not such a useless thing.
And then: we are here on the gaming site are so smart, we know where in which game is Donat and where it is not. But the vast majority of buyers of video games do not sit on Stopgame and its analogues and do not understand the issue. For them, such marks will be especially useful.
Well, ok, who wants to be saved – will not stop in front of the sign. it’s like a warning about cancer on a pack of cigarettes.
It will be like a hysteria with GMOs, when at some point a dick "without GMO" appeared on all products. Personally, I never understood – what threatens me with the presence or absence of GMOs in a pack of chips, but there were people for whom it was an important choice – and they also could not say with confidence, but they prefer to take products without GMOs.
Fine. On the package with the game (on the page in the Intrant store) there is no icon of microtransactions. You bought a game, and after two weeks a patch is released, adding microtransactions to the game. Further what?
Amazing. The packaging of the game says that they do not swear there, there is no alcohol, cigarettes and in general everything is wonderful. The parent buys this game to his child. Two weeks later, nude and matyuki are added with a patch.
If the law could be bypassed so easily, it would already be done.
People are different, and people have different plans. Someone added microtransactions in two years, others will add in two weeks. The fact remains, a warning about microtranszulations on the box can be bypassed in a completely legitimate way.
Return the game to the store in this case, they say, see you here, there are no transactions, but they are, I think this law provides for this kind of situation.
Suppose your child, not having it possible to use a credit card, comes up to you and says they say, help buy a skin. You are so perplexed, they say how so, when I bought a game to him, there was nothing on the box. In your opinion, this is a situation that does not pull on the abus of the law and mochenics?

The appearance of microtransactions after a few years (case with Payday 2) caused a wave of indignation. A bad wave by the way. Result? But there is no result. Someone left the game, but in general the game was not too injured.
In any case, in large gaming companies there are special people who will correctly predict and introduce microtransactions when it will be needed. Well, besides, you can introduce a purchase of cosmetic straits (skins for weapons, etc.D.). On this half of all the players will just give a shit, and the other half will run to buy.
This is more for parents who buy games for their children. Adults, clear, they will figure it out.
In the case of Payday 2, not obvious. For the main complaint was associated with the appearance of the sold weapons and equipment (the clown look of players and weapons ruined the entire atmosphere). Well, with the fact that someone there from the developers violated the promise (a weak reason, as for me). If everything is done competently, the game will be more than successful.
In single games, most of the players will generally spit on a cosmetic donat.
Thus, we found out that most of the players will give a shit on this icon. Most of the players shit for all the badges, but not the point.
So what is the meaning of the icon? And, well, probably in that parents could protect the child from games that are not suitable for him by age? Well, yes, it’s so terrible that a kind of dude will spend his pocket money not on a trip to the cinema, but on a beautiful horse in the game. After such a child, 100% will become a terrorist.
