ESRB will add warning labels to games with microtransactions
Games containing microtransactions will now feature a warning label in America.
The move is part of fresh push by the ESRB - the board which gives age ratings to games in the US, Canada and Mexico - to better educate parents on the ways children can spend money within games.
All games which offer some way of spending further money will be branded with the label - from those which offer blind loot boxes and flog in-game currency, to those which simply offer the ability to buy a season pass or DLC pack. In other words: this will affect most games.
