Comment on Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union

I winner of this will on practice or an end to the scummy practice of badly sized in game currency pack sizes, one of the many scummy techniques they use to make people spend more.

Let’s say the thing most players buy costs 3 ingame currency (I love that my autocorrect made „insane currency“ out of that). The smallest pack you can buy is 5. So, the player buys 5, spends 3 and has 2 left with which nothing to do. If they want another 3, they have to buy 5 more. Spend 3, have 4 left. Spend 3, have 1 left. The cycle continues.
