More →Minecraft, Candy Crush Among 11 Games in EU Virtual Currency Crackdown
European consumer authorities have opened eleven coordinated actions against ten video games companies over the way they sell and price in-game virtual currencies, the European Commission <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_2018" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">said</a> Wednesday. The Consumer Protection Cooperation Network, which groups national enforcement bodies and is coordinated by the Commission, named Activision Blizzard UK, Crytek, InnoGames, King.com, Mojang, Plarium Europe, PLR Worldwide Sales, Riot Games, Supercell and Ubisoft EMEA in a <a href="https://commission.europa.eu/document/75ff33d4-77a6-4f14-916a-766a8c6c281c_en" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">joint statement</a>. The games are Diablo Immortal, Call of Duty Mobile, Hunt: Showdown 1896, Forge of Empires, Candy Crush Saga, Minecraft, Mech Arena, Gardenscapes, Valorant, Clash of Clans and For Honor, picked for their broad reach, availability across devices and range of age ratings. The actions follow <a href="https://commission.europa.eu/document/download/8af13e88-6540-436c-b137-9853e7fe866a_en?filename=Key+principles+on+in-game+virtual+currencies.pdf" target="_blank" class="sc-adb616fe-0 dJryYS" rel="nofollow">key principles</a> the network published in March 2025. Those say the real-world price of in-game items and currency must be shown prominently, that traders should not mix several currencies or require repeated exchanges in ways that obscure cost, and that players should not be pushed into buying more currency than an item needs. Bundles that deliberately mismatch item prices, leaving players with a stranded balance, are among the practices to avoid. Players also keep a 14-day right of withdrawal, the principles say, including for virtual currency they have bought but not spent. Contract terms granting companies the unilateral right to change the value of in-game currency, or to close accounts without the possibility of contesting it, are flagged as unfair. Children are treated as always vulnerable, and any game not aimed exclusively at adults should expect a significant share of under-18 players. It also classes high spenders as a vulnerable group, saying so-called whales "are likely to struggle with impulse control or gambling disorders" and that games built around them face a stricter fairness test. Crypto sits outside all of it.

Currencies that can only be earned through play, and never bought, are excluded too. The regime is aimed squarely at currencies bought with real money inside closed game economies. The acti

Federal Reserve Vice Chair Jefferson: It may take more time to determine whether further rate hikes are needed.
According to CoinWorld news, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Philip Jefferson said that inflation has been too high for too long and there remains a risk that it will stay persistently elevated, but policymakers may need more time to determine whether further rate hikes are necessary. He pointed out that U.S. economic activity and the labor market remain solid, but multiple shocks such as rising energy prices, the AI investment boom, and tariffs are affecting the economy, and these factors cannot be viewed in isolation when formulating policy. Jefferson also said that since the September meeting, U.S. Treasury yields across maturities have risen further, indicating that investors are reassessing the macroeconomic situation. As more data comes in, the Fed will continue to judge whether inflation can return to its target level quickly enough and what monetary policy stance is most appropriate.
