Fusion42 · 5 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

The European Commission and the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network have launched a coordinated enforcement action against nine major video game companies regarding the transparency and fairness of their virtual currency pricing and in-game purchases across multiple popular titles.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Gaming.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for stricter EU rules on virtual currency pricing transparency that will affect game monetization models. This enforcement action could open new compliance costs and reshape how you communicate in-game purchases to European users.
