📰 On Friday, January 17, 2025, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced the settlement of an enforcement action against HoYoverse over alleged violations of COPPA and Section 5 of the FTC Act in its game “Genshin Impact.” This action carries significant implications for the video game industry. Some key takeaways: 💡 The FTC continues to prioritize COPPA enforcement, especially against games that it believes are likely to appeal to kids and teens. 💡 Complicated multi-tier currency systems that make it hard for players to know how much they’re spending in real dollar terms may run afoul of the FTC Act. 💡 Selling loot boxes to kids or teens may also be a violation of the FTC Act. What this means in practice is somewhat ambiguous, but it’s fairly clear from the FTC’s reasoning that it believes younger audiences are more vulnerable to some of the promotions and mechanics commonly used with loot boxes, and that this risk may be mitigated by getting verifiable parental consent for loot boxes first. 🔎 Want to know more details? We cover the settlement and its implications in greater detail here: https://lnkd.in/eBxf4UYv ➡️ We will be hosting a series of industry roundtables to discuss this development and what it means for the industry.
