Remakes, Remasters, Sequels: Safe Bet But Threat to Innovation
The article discusses the rising trend of video game remakes, remasters, and sequels, which are seen as safe bets for the industry but are also criticized for stifling innovation. It cites data showing that industry layoffs have been heavy since the pandemic, and that most top-selling games in Germany are sequels or remasters. The author argues that nostalgia is a powerful marketing tool used by major publishers like Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft, but warns that an overreliance on nostalgia could harm the industry's long-term creativity. The article suggests that indie games can offer fresh experiences while still evoking nostalgia, and calls for gamers to be more open to new ideas beyond photorealism.
Video Games Europe Hits Back at EU Watchdog Over IAP Practices
The EU Consumer Protection Cooperation Network has launched coordinated enforcement actions against major game companies including King, Supercell, Mojang, Riot Games, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, Crytek, InnoGames, Plarium Europe, and PLR Worldwide Sales over their in-game virtual currency practices. The CPC Network claims these companies have not made substantive changes following its 'Key Principles' published in March 2025, particularly regarding loot boxes, dark patterns, and practices that encourage children to spend money. Trade bodies Video Games Europe and the European Game Developers Federation have pushed back, disputing the legal classification of in-game currencies as digital representations of value and citing a European Court of Justice ruling on Runescape. They propose six commitments including clearer real-money pricing, refunds for unused bundles within 48 hours, 30 days' notice before content removal, and enhanced parental controls, conditional on addressing legal uncertainty.
EU Consumer Watchdogs Probe Game Firms Over Virtual Currency
The European Consumer Protection Cooperation (CPC) Network has initiated coordinated actions against ten major game companies, including Activision Blizzard, King, Supercell, and Mojang, over potential non-compliance with its 'Key Principles' on in-game virtual currencies. The CPC is investigating games like Candy Crush Saga, Minecraft, and Clash of Clans for practices that may hide real costs of microtransactions and target vulnerable consumers, particularly children. Following last year's guidelines and extensive talks, the CPC claims many companies have not made substantive changes. The investigation could lead to enforcement measures under EU consumer law, though the principles are not legally binding. The case may set a precedent influencing the upcoming Digital Fairness Act.
