In-game app fees face crackdown

A UK watchdog is threatening action against video game app-makers it finds in breach of consumer protection laws. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) is concerned about in-game charges, saying it has seen evidence of "potentially unfair and aggressive commercial practices" after studying 38 popular titles. It has not said which they are. Children might be particularly susceptible to such tactics, it warns. As a consequence it has proposed new guidelines for developers. These would apply tboth apps and internet browser-based video games available via Facebook and elsewhere. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. //
