Games with loot boxes and other "paid random items" re-rated PEGI 16 as new rules come into force, hopefully cutting down on kids gambling somewhat (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Yeah, so better not do anything!

Keep fifa games at PEGI3 so parents that have no clue keep buying these games to their children.

I don't get all the negativity in this thread. Some people complain that this does nothing because it's just an advisory rating, and others complain because it should be the parents responsibility and not the government. Are you all out of your mind?

    Who said do nothing? Don't imagine something into a comment and put words into my mouth I didn't say. My request is to make those games 18+, and do not sell lootboxes to children. That would also include removing games from the regular Storefront by default, until an option in the settings toggles 18+ content in example.

    Just giving a PEGI 16 rating and then nothing actually changes. Man parents don't care or don't know. What do you think how so many kids play GTA in example? PEGI 16 does nothing and giving responsibility to parents is basically giving up.
