Brazil justice ministry asks ANPD to review six games over loot boxes
Brazil's Ministry of Justice asked the ANPD to prioritise scrutiny of six games using loot boxes, citing possible risks to children and teenagers. The request is not a finding of legal non-compliance; the ANPD will assess the information and decide whether to take supervisory action. The ministry also asked that the information go to the Health Ministry for research into possible mental-health effects.
The ANPD’s assessment may shape scrutiny of loot boxes, while no legal non-compliance finding has been made.
