The rise of dark patterns and their potential online harms is a growing topic of concern for consumers, particularly parents of young gamers. Regulators across the globe are responding with increasing efforts to protect consumers from deceptive and manipulative design practices, and given the large proportion of child gamers, focus on the games industry is intensifying. Gaming companies and developers need to be focused on the associated legal risks and designing compliant games.
In this complex evolving landscape, join Ukie members Linklaters, for a webinar on Wednesday 2nd October, from 12:30-13:30, exploring dark patterns in games and identify the common themes in the regulatory approaches of the UK, EU and US across data protection, consumer protection and unfair or deceptive business practices to help you prepare a legal risk management strategy.
