Gree Inc. and DeNA Co. have announced that they are limiting the monthly spending on their game content for young users. There’s been an uproar in Japan (and other places) about the amount of money children and teens can easily spend via microtransactions.
Gree will limit monthly spending at ¥10,000 for users aged between 16 and 19 and at ¥5,000 for those aged 15 or under. Meanwhile, DeNA will introduce a monthly cap of ¥10,000 for users aged 16 and 17 in June, while the limit for users aged 15 or under will be set at ¥5,000.
Gree, DeNA, along with NHN Japan Corp., CyberAgent Inc., Dwango Co. and Mixi Inc. discussed responsible usage of their sites by minors at a joint committee set up in March.
