Essay:The case for regulating of video games
Should Candy Crush Saga be regulated?
Some people feel there should be laws preventing promoters of Candy Crush Saga] and similar video games exploiting consumers. A few gamers drain their savings accounts and/or live in rundown apartments because too much money goes on buying extras for games. High spending gamers are not respected, the business calls them whales and sets out to exploit them. [1]
- I feel there is a strong case for regulating spending on video games. The Gold that users buy to pay for add ons makes it harder for gamers to keep track of spending.
- I feel at the very least Candy Crush Company should be forced legally to tell gamers in plain English how much they ware spending in their own currency. I feel before each and every purchase gamers should get a clear statement of how much that purchase will cost them in £ $ Euros whatever is relevant, gamers should also get a clear statement of how much they personally have spent on Candy Crush Saga over the week before and over the month before.
This wouldn't restrict the freedom of gamers to buy whatever cool stuff they like. It would make it harder for Candy Crush Company to take advantage of customers and would help customers make informed choice.
