Good day to be from Europe.

Old news, this statement came out weeks a ago. As it says in the EU press release, the Free App only needs to clearly mark that it has IAPs in it. Apple has already implemented this in their App Store -go check it out. Nothing to see here, sensationalist headline is a clickbait. Nothing is being Banned.

Nice.
Cant wait for the day they allow us to re-sell digital products.

Not bad EU, not bad at all.

Are you F'ing kidding me the whole thing is 16 sentences and takes like 2 minutes to read. The industry should get rid of voice acting and bring back text boxes until gamers learn what it is like to read again.

The term "free to play" has indicated a game with in-app purchases since it's coinage, and frankly the term is actually correct. It's a shame people don't understand basic game terminology.

Now we have the good old government stepping in once again to protect us from our stupidity.

It's kind of a good thing, but I would prefer regulation since I don't mind when in-app purchases provide actual content that took time, talent and effort to create, or turn off ads (which lowers ad profit for the developer), instead of paying for what used to be simple cheats back in the day.

Now injustice is going to be done towards devs who use them in a fair manner.

I totally agree F2P games with 99 dollar transactions are you out of your damn mind. One I want to play a game for as long as I want so get rid of time limits and two if you want me to buy stuff fine but make it so I can buy those things with in game currency or from watching videos not from paying actual cash.

Actually, if you read the EU press release, they simply want the Free games to have "contains In-app purchases" to be included in the description, and Apple has already enforced it this month, i.e. nothing has changed, really.

Nothing is getting banned, EU would lose enormous revenue of it was so. It is just a sensationalist headline by a journo who actually did not read the press release.

You gotta love the EU. Proud to be a citizen.

They are right to some extent. the problem isn't about having microtransactions, it's their content. if the game pratically forces you to pay in order for the thing to be actually playable, THAT is a problem.
