E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Presenting the first comprehensive study of evergreening, this article ex- amines the extent to which evergreening behavior—which can be defined as artificially extending the protection cliff—may contribute to theprob- lem. The author analyses all drugs on the market between 2005 and 2015, combing through 60,000 data points to examine every instance in which a company added a new patent or exclusivity. The results show a startling departure from the classic conceptualization of intellectual property pro- tection for pharmaceuticals. Rather than creating new medicines, pharma- ceutical companies are largely recycling and repurposing old ones. Specifi- cally, 78% of the drugs associated with new patents were not new drugs, but ∗ Robin Feldman is the Arthur J.

Introduction Microtransactions are generally defined as any additional payment made in a video game after the customer makes an original purchase.2 Over time, microtransactions have increased in prominence and are featured today in many free-to-play mobile games.3 However, some video game developers, to the outrage of consumers, have decided to include microtransactions in PC and console games, which already require an upfront $60 retail payment.4 Consumer advocacy groups have increasingly criticized Microtransactions as unfair to 1 J.D.

    Journal of Law and Policy Volume 29 Issue 1 Article 4 12-1-2020 The Hunt for Loot: Proposed Solutions to More Effectively Regulate Addictive Gambling Mechanics in Video Games Andrew Brewer Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/jlp Part of the Administrative Law Commons, Consumer Protection Law Commons, Entertainment, Arts, and Sports Law Commons, Gaming Law Commons, and the Legislation Commons Recommended Citation Andrew Brewer, The Hunt for Loot: Proposed Solutions to More Effectively Regulate Addictive Gambling Mechanics in Video Games, 29 J. L. & Pol'y 158 (2020). Available at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/jlp/vol29/iss1/4 This Note is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at BrooklynWorks. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Law and Policy by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. THE HUNT FOR LOOT: PROPOSED SOLUTIONS TO MORE EFFECTIVELY REGULATE ADDICTIVE GAMBLING MECHANICS IN VIDEO GAMES Andrew Brewer* “Play interests me very much,” said Hermann: “but I am not in the position to sacrifice the necessary in the hope of winning the superfluous.”1 – Alexander Pushkin, The Queen of Spades Over the past decade, more and more video game developers have embraced “loot boxes” as a lucrative source of revenue. But recent concerns over the potential harms of loot boxes, particularly to children, have raised questions about their use and prompted attempts to regulate them throughout the world. This Note explores recent attempts—both foreign and domestic—to regulate loot boxes and proposes new solutions based on those strategies’ shortcomings. By carefully and competently defining terms and exceptions, and providing for more aggressive oversight of agency regulatory efforts, federally-crafted loot box legislation can more effectively protect children from predatory gambling mechanics in video games.
