欧盟委员会早前发表报告，关于改善网上游戏消费者保障。当中，Google 同意停止使用 “Free” 字眼去标记附有 In-App Purchase 的 Android 游戏。
These include not using the word “free” at all when games contain in-app purchases, developing targeted guidelines for its app developers to prevent direct exhortation to children as defined under EU law and time-framed measures to help monitor apparent breaches of EU consumer laws. It has also adapted its default settings, so that payments are authorized prior to every in-app purchase, unless the consumer actively chooses to modify these settings.
Google 亦会为 App Developers 提供相关指引以符合欧洲的规定，另外亦会修定 Play Store 内的付款默认设定。用家在每次 In-App Purchase 之前需要作授权，除非用家主动修改设定。
Google 将会在 9月尾前完成有关的改动。暂未清楚这个改动是否只在欧洲地区推行，还是在其他地区亦有相应改动。
