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.

INTRODUCTION by Richard Bartle The original MUD was conceived, and the core written, by Roy Trubshaw in his final year at Essex University in 1980. When I took over as the game's maintainer and began to expand the number of locations and commands at the player's disposal I had little inkling of what was going to happen. First it became a cult among the university students. Then, with the advent of Packet Switch Stream (PSS), MUD began to attract players from outside the university - some calling from as far away as the USA and Japan! MUD proved so popular that it began to slow down the Essex University DEC-ro for other users and its availability had to be restricted to the middle of the night.

  • FTC Inside the Game: Unlocking the Consumer Issues Surrounding Loot Boxes Workshop Transcript Segment 1
    Inside the Game: Unlocking the Consumer Issues Surrounding Loot Boxes – An FTC Workshop August 7, 2019 Segment 1 Transcript MARY JOHNSON: Good morning, everyone. My name is Mary Johnson. I'm an attorney in the division of Advertising Practices in FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. Thank you for your interest in today's topic, "Consumer Issues Related to Video Game Loot Boxes and Microtransactions." Before we get started with the program, I need to review some administrative details. I don't have a catchy video to hold your attention, so please listen carefully. Please silence any mobile phones and other electronic devices. If you must use them during the workshop, please be respectful of the speakers and your fellow audience members. Please be aware that if you leave the Constitution Center building for any reason during the workshop, you will have to go back through security screening again when you return. So bear this in mind and plan ahead, especially if you are participating on a panel, so we can do our best to remain on schedule. If you received a lanyard with a plastic FTC event security badge, please return your badge to security when you leave for the day. We do reuse those for multiple events. So now some important emergency procedures. If an emergency occurs that requires evacuation of the building, an alarm will sound. Everyone should leave the building in an orderly manner through the main 7th Street exit. After leaving the building, turn left and proceed down 7th Street to E Street to the FTC emergency assembly area.

  • Is the Buying of Loot Boxes in Videogames a Form of Gambling Or Gaming?
    Is the buying of loot boxes in videogames a form of gambling or gaming? Mark D. Griffiths International Gaming Research Unit, Psychology Department Nottingham Trent University, 50 Shakespeare Street, Nottingham, NG1 4FQ, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] Mark D. Griffiths is Professor of Behavioural Addiction in the Psychology Department at Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham, United Kingdom. Keywords: Loot boxes; social gambling; virtual assets; in-game purchasing; video game gambling 1 “The novelty of [Las Vegas] can hide its true intentions. [Its] seediness might be hard to detect on the surface of many video games, but replace the roulette table with a Candy Crush wheel and the similarities become clearer. Think about how many times you've paid real-life money in a game for the chance to win an item you really wanted. Was it a nice Overwatch skin? Perhaps it was a coveted Hearthstone card. How many times did you not get the item you wanted, then immediately bought in for another chance to hit the big time?”[1]. The buying of loot boxes takes place within online videogames and are (in essence) virtual games of chance. Players use real money to buy virtual in-game items and can redeem such items by buying keys to open the boxes where they receive a chance selection of further virtual items. Other types of equivalent in-game virtual assets that can be bought include crates, cases, chests, bundles, and card packs. The virtual items that can be ‘won’ can comprise basic customization (i.e., cosmetic) options for a player’s in-game character (avatar) to in-game assets that can help players progress more effectively in the game (e.g., gameplay improvement items such as weapons, armor)[1-3].
