The European Parliament's Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee this week called for a set of EU-wide rules to protect game playing consumers.
In a vote with wide-ranging support (35 votes for, none against and 3 abstentions), the committee approved a draft report calling for better consumer protections, most notably around loot boxes and children.
The committee called for information about games' content, in-game purchase policies and target age groups to be readily available much like PEGI ratings, and for parents to have effective controls over how much time and money their children spend on games.
