Did not expect India to be the one to push back on the predatory behavior of micro transactions. Having lived in India for a long time, I’m not sure how much of it is greed but still a positive outcome I guess!

From what I read, the tax is on online gaming as in gambling, apps, not gacha-style microtransactions. Still a good thing though.

I think the comment implies it might not be for traditional gaming but rather mainstream gambling and apps like candy crush? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Modi is least bothered by financially predatory behaviour, his govt is desperately trying to raise funds.
