Resolution Criteria:

1. Requirement Definition: Video game companies operating in the EU will be legally mandated to display the real-money equivalent (e.g., euros) of virtual currency purchases and in-game items, either exclusively in real currency or alongside the virtual currency.

2. Jurisdiction: The rule must be passed at the EU level, either through new legislation or as part of amendments to existing consumer protection regulations.

3. Timing: The requirement must be passed, not implemented, before market close.

4. Exemptions:

   • Games or transactions involving only in-game-earned currencies (without real-money purchasing options) are not subject to this rule.

   • Measures that only increase transparency without specifying real-money equivalents do not qualify.

5. Source of Information: The announcement of such a regulation must come from official EU legislative bodies, such as the European Parliament or the European Commission, and be reported by credible news organizations.

This market will resolve as "YES" if the real-money equivalence display rule is mandated by the deadline.

• Update 2025-08-18 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - The creator will treat the EU’s existing consumer-law requirement for transparent, real-money pricing—explicitly applied to in-game purchases by the CPC Network’s Mar 21, 2025 guidance—as meeting the market’s mandate.

  • New or amended legislation is not required; authoritative EU-level guidance and enforcement under unfair commercial practices law will suffice for a YES.
