UK government says the games industry must act on loot boxes, or face legislation17th Jul 2022 / 11:04 amThe UK government has said the games industry must do more to protect vulnerable players from loot boxes, and that it “will not hesitate” to consider legislation if companies do not bring in sufficient measures to keep players safe.

“We want to stop children going on spending sprees online without parental consent, spurred on by in-game purchases like loot-boxes,” said Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries in a statement. Some examples of this include parental controls, a feature already supported by all three of the main platform holders.

“We look forward to engaging closely with the Government and other organisations in the working group and on the Video Games Research Framework.”
