Abstract: | 付費虛擬轉蛋是一種隨機性的遊戲內購買機制,其被認為是一種極具掠奪性的商業手段,並很可能使玩家從遊戲走向賭博,因此在消費者保護上存在相當大的隱憂,尤其是對於兒童及青少年消費者的保護。如何管制付費虛擬轉蛋,實為目前世界各國所面臨的新興課題。
我國近年來增訂了以轉蛋機率揭露為核心的資訊揭露規範,試圖以提高透明度的方式來平衡消費者的先天不利地位。然而,我國目前的管制規範毋寧存在諸多不足。在問題意識上,我國並未意識到賭博成癮的相關問題,亦無關注到兒童及青少年的特別保護;在管制作法上,我國過於期待機率揭露所能產生的消費者保護作用,而忽略其他限制業者機制設計或玩家行為等的實質手段;更何況就目前的機率揭露規範而言,不僅並未要求詳細揭露個別轉蛋物品的機率,亦欠缺驗證機制,實質效果有限。 在綜合參酌美國、歐盟、比利時、荷蘭、日本、中國等外國管制經驗後,可以發現我國仍有很大的進步空間。我國在規範標的、資訊揭露、機制設計、兒童及青少年保護、法律效果等方面,都應建構更完整的規範。 Paid loot boxes are a random in-game purchase mechanism, which is considered to be a highly predatory business practices, and is likely to lead players from gaming to gambling. Therefore, there is a great concern for consumer protection, especially for children and adolescent consumers. How to regulate the paid loot boxes is undoubtedly an emerging issue faced by all countries around the world. In recent years, Taiwan has enacted new disclosure regulations which is focusing on the disclosure of the odds of loot boxes, attempting to balance the inherent disadvantage of consumers by increasing transparency. However, the current regulations in Taiwan has many shortcomings. In terms of problem awareness, Taiwan is not aware of the problems associated with gambling disorder, nor is it concerned with the special protection of children and adolescent. In terms of regulatory actions, Taiwan overestimates the consumer protection effect of odds disclosure and neglects other substantively means like limiting the industry’s mechanism designs or the player’s behaviors. Moreover, in terms of the current odds disclosure regulation, it is not only does not require detailed disclosure of the odds of each loot box items, but also lacks of a verification mechanism, causing the limitation of the actual effect. After reviewing the foreign regulatory practices, including the United States, the European Union, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, China, we can find that Taiwan still has a lot of room for improvement. Taiwan should construct more complete regulations in terms of subject-matter regulation, information disclosure, mechanism design, children and adolescent protection, and legal effect. |
