After the departure of key figure Guo Weiwei and continued pressure on the company's game business, the announcement sparked a trust crisis in the player community, prompting two letters and closed comment sections.

    EU consumer authorities launch coordinated action against 10 game companies over virtual currency practices

    European consumer protection authorities announced a series of coordinated actions against 10 video game companies, accusing them of dark patterns that put minors and players at risk of gaming addiction. The action, coordinated by the European Commission, focuses on practices such as premium in-game currencies that obscure real-world spending, selling virtual currency in set quantities that force overspending, and insufficient parental controls. The article cites Destiny 2's Silver bundles of 500, 1,000 and 1,500 units against item prices of 600 to 1,500 Silver, and notes Fortnite will let players buy the exact amount of V-Bucks they need starting October 14, a change also coming to Rocket League and Fall Guys but not PlayStation for now.

    Why Would Strawberry Music Festival Host a Game Expo?

    Modern Sky's Game House teamed up with Haoyou Kuaibao to set up a game expo area at the Guangzhou Strawberry Music Festival that ended in late September, offering demos of over a dozen titles including Under the Fog Sea, Gui Huan and Hungry Wilderness, with Infinity and Lili's Little People Country also hosting reservation booths. Game House head Zhao Yue said music festivals need content to fill idle time while game expos struggle to give non-hit titles exposure, making the two a natural fit. Haoyou Kuaibao said it is targeting the 18-to-25-year-old general entertainment crowd who would not normally visit a game expo but might be interested in games.

    EU opens enforcement over in-game currency against nine companies including King, Supercell, Riot and Ubisoft, as two European game associations push back

    On September 30 the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network announced coordinated enforcement against nine companies including King, Supercell, Mojang, Riot Games and Ubisoft over how in-game virtual currency is sold and managed, with Crytek, InnoGames, Plarium Europe and PLR Worldwide Sales also named. The same day, Video Games Europe and EGDF jointly objected, questioning the legal basis and arguing in-game currency is not a crypto-like digital representation of value, saying they had asked for that basis since spring 2025 without reply. The dispute centers on whether in-game currency counts as a digital representation of value, which would make each in-game exchange a new consumer contract with its own 14-day withdrawal notice; the associations offered six commitments including clear real-money pricing and refunds for unused currency within 48 hours, conditional on resolving the legal uncertainty.

    From Minecraft Survival Games to Fortnite: How Live-Service Turned Games Into a Battle Royale for the Top Spot

    IGN traces the history of live-service games, noting the battle royale market was valued at $11.2 billion last year and is expected to reach nearly $30 billion by 2035. Norwegian YouTuber Dennis Vaeride is credited with launching the first Minecraft Survival Games server in April 2012, while Brendan Greene's shrinking-circle concept led to PUBG's Steam Early Access launch in March 2017 and Fortnite's free-to-play battle royale mode later that year. Ex-BioWare producer Mark Darrah says you have to believe you can dethrone one of the top two players in the genre, or you shouldn't be doing it.
