The proposed Digital Fairness Act by the European Commission could negatively impact the video game industry, particularly in Romania, where 234 studios operate. Industry representatives, including the Romanian Game Developers Association, urge for a revision of the proposal, citing potential job losses and reduced game options for consumers. The act aims to enhance consumer protection online but may inadvertently harm the gaming ecosystem by imposing strict regulations on in-game purchases and virtual currencies. The industry argues that existing measures, like the PEGI rating system, already ensure player safety. They call for clearer, more applicable regulations that protect children without stifling local studios.
