Microtransaction System Between the Netherlands and Indonesia

Abstract

The expansion of the internet's reach from major cities to more remote places is evidence of the breakneck pace of technological development right now. That includes the technology behind online games, which may have both good and bad impacts on players' bankrolls. The microtransaction systems in online games in the Netherlands and Indonesia need to be compared in terms of the legal protections afforded to players. Research in this area is based on normative juridical theory. According to the study's findings, the Dutch have microtransaction rules in place since 2018, whereas Indonesia has only employed broad laws concerning microtransactions in online games up until now. The negative effects of microtransactions on adults, children, and the nation as a whole necessitate swift action to regulate the legal system in Indonesia to ensure the safety of those who use these systems to play online games. Thus, it is expected that the government would promptly implement legislation pertaining to the Microtransaction System that are emerging on a global and developed country level.
