VK Play and RuStore have started an experiment on voluntary labelling of games. The main purpose of this experiment is to provide users with up-to-date information about computer games, which will help parents make a decision on whether to buy the game for the child. The experiment will involve the publication of a card with a game description and basic information on its content.
The experiment will involve computer games for PC and mobile devices. In the card, users will be able to find information about the genre, age restrictions, whether there is a paid component in the game, the possibility of multiplayer mode, the availability of Russian language support and parental control tools.
After installing the game from VK Play, the user will be able to see the information card on the product page on the RuStore application, as well as on the game page in the VK Play Games application.
The experiment will help developers to provide users with current information about the content of the game and make it easier for parents to make a decision about the game, and for gamers to learn more about its features. The experiment will also help to increase the level of trust in the gaming industry, which is important for the development of the industry as a whole.
