Newly-proposed EU law could place tight restrictions on free-to-play games

The Digital Fairness Act, if adopted, could massively change the way some games are developed and published not just in Europe, but across the globe. The European Commission, the main executive body of the European Union, released this week a proposal for the Digital Fairness Act (DFA). The act, which would apply to all EU member states, puts crosshairs on video games and other digital services across Europe with restrictions on features loot boxes, virtual currency, and UX design.
