We know playing slot machines can trigger uncontrolled spending and addictive behaviors in some people. But what about paid-for features in ‘free-to-play’ games
They’re not exactly hidden these days, but I agree. And they also happen in paid games. Guessing a separate pegi category for all games that offer in game spending, regardless if its outright gambling, season passes or dlc, and for both free and paid games. They should not be allowed to tug at your strings, at least in-game.

It’s being worked on. PEGI already announced new rules and rating. As usual the US isn’t on board though.
