Video games: microtransactions.

Existing law requires a video game retailer to post a sign providing information to consumers about a video game rating system or notifying consumers that a rating system is available to aid in the selection of a game. This bill would require the manufacturer of a video game that is sold in California and includes the opportunity to engage in a microtransaction, as defined, within the video game to provide a clear disclosure that the video game includes the opportunity to engage in a microtransaction on the physical box the video game is sold in. The bill would make a video game manufacturer that violates this provision subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per violation.
