The European Commission and national authorities are taking action to protect children from harmful practices in video games. Coordinated by the European Commission, the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network (CPC) has taken enforcement action against Star Stable Entertainment AB to ensure a safer and more transparent experience for players. Star Stable has one month to respond to the CPC position and propose improvements.
The CPC also presented fundamental principles today to help the gaming sector comply with EU rules related to virtual currencies in games. The Commission will organize a workshop to encourage companies in the EU to implement these principles.
Michael McGrath, Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, and the Rule of Law, emphasized the need for a safe online environment for children. He supports the CPCs efforts to protect consumers and children.
