Farewell to FIFA, whose 23rd year will mark the departure of the historic title (although EA Sports FC will pick up a good deal of its spirit), looks set to be lackluster in more than one country.. Belgium and the Netherlands are already known to have fairly strict regulations regarding loot boxes.which led to problems with previous titles in the franchise, as well as subsequent releases, however notable.

This is a problem that has been talked about for a long time and fortunately we are seeing more and more efforts towards their regulation in a trend that fortunately finds a replica here as well. For their part, developers continue to insist on using this model, which along with micropayments have become one of their main sources of income. We are gradually seeing some classic titles being withdrawn from the market because it poses a threat to this new billing model.

If at some point the studios and distributors wanted to make it clear to us the importance they attach to the players and their user experience, then this is the moment when they decided to reduce the entire gaming experience to constant verification, buying packs, chests and others… I’d rather leave you, for you to say All so that later they also have the shamelessness to say that what matters most to them are the players…if they bite their tongue, they suffer a fatal overdose of cynicism.

That lawmakers have made progress in curbing this cancer of the video game world as much as possible is always excellent news, and as we can read in VGC, Austria joins the club as FIFA Ultimate Team covers are bets, in a decision that also spells trouble for Sony. This jurisprudence was established in the district court of Hermagor in response to a class action by several users in the country, including a minor.

Interestingly, the lawsuit was not filed against EA, responsible for the title, but Sony, the provider of the platform on which the operations on which the complaint is based were carried out. So it will be the Japanese multinational that will have to compensate each of the plaintiffs with the amount of 338.26 euros, in a process in which it would be more than interesting to know what EA will do.
