欧盟委员会周三表示，欧盟消费者保护机构已启动针对电子游戏公司的协调行动，以加强游戏玩家的权利。
EU consumer protection authorities launched coordinated actions targeting video game companies to strengthen gamers’ rights, the European Commission said Wednesday.
欧盟委员会在一份声明中表示，消费者保护合作网络此次行动是基于其关于游戏内虚拟货币的“关键原则”，该指导方针旨在根据欧盟消费者法促进透明度和公平性。
In a statement, the commission said the Consumer Protection Cooperation Network action follows its Key Principles on in-game virtual currencies, guidelines aimed at promoting transparency and fairness under EU consumer law.
欧盟委员会表示，这些措施旨在确保清晰透明的定价，防止费用被隐藏，并防止不必要的货币购买。
The measures seek to ensure clear and transparent pricing, prevent costs from being obscured and prevent unwanted currency purchases, the commission said.
委员会补充说，这些措施还旨在在购买前提供清晰的信息，尊重消费者的撤销权，并确保条款公平易懂。
They also seek to provide clear information before purchases, respect consumers’ right to withdraw and ensure fair and understandable terms, it added.
欧盟委员会表示，此次行动还旨在确保游戏公司为所有消费者提供适当的保护，包括儿童等弱势用户。
The commission said the action also aims to ensure that game companies provide appropriate safeguards to all consumers, including vulnerable users such as children.
消费者保护合作网络汇集了负责保护欧盟和欧洲经济区消费者的各国机构。
The Consumer Protection Cooperation Network brings together national authorities responsible for protecting consumers in the EU and the European Economic Area.
在欧盟委员会的协调下，这些机构针对影响多个成员国消费者的违反消费者法行为采取行动。
Coordinated by the European Commission, the authorities act against consumer law breaches that affect people in multiple member states.
在另一份声明中，该网络表示，其旨在培育一个具有竞争力的欧洲电子游戏市场，为企业提供有利的环境。
In a separate statement, the network said it seeks to foster a competitive European video game market that provides a supportive environment for businesses.
声明称：“学术界、消费者权益倡导者和游戏玩家普遍认为，某些电子游戏商业模式和设计做法损害了消费者利益，尤其是儿童等弱势群体。”
“A broad consensus among academics, consumer advocates, and gamers is that some video game business models and design practices harm consumers, especially vulnerable groups such as children,” it said.
该网络表示，一些电子游戏“直接怂恿”儿童进行购买，尽管欧盟消费者保护法明确禁止这种行为。
The network said some video games “directly exhort” children to make purchases despite an explicit prohibition under EU consumer protection law.
该机构宣布采取11项协调行动，要求动视暴雪英国有限公司、Crytek GmbH、InnoGames GmbH、King.com有限公司、Mojang AB、Plarium Europe S.a.r.l.、PLR Worldwide Sales有限公司、Riot Games有限公司、Supercell Oy以及育碧欧洲中东非洲SAS，使其涉及游戏内虚拟货币的做法符合欧盟消费者保护法律。
