Data Protection
Data protection laws and enforcement actions have expanded nearly as fast as data itself. Complying with a patchwork of laws is a significant challenge for game companies that publish globally. This panel will discuss best practices for global data privacy compliance, including the growing challenges with cross-border data transfers.

Consumer Protection - Dark Patterns & Loot Boxes
Regulators in multiple jurisdictions are increasing efforts to protect players’ rights as consumers in the video game industry. Prohibiting “dark patterns” and constraining “loot boxes” can significantly impact how game companies design their monetization mechanisms. This panel will discuss the latest regulatory trends and their implications for game developers.

Challenge of Global Game Content Compliance

This panel will highlight key legal requirements and important cultural norms in major game markets.

Negotiating a Game Publishing Deal
Collaborating with a local partner is often essential for game developers looking to expand their market reach. However, negotiating a game licensing agreement can be a complex and challenging process, as it involves balancing the interests and expectations of both parties. A poorly constructed licensing agreement can lead to risks such as losing control over the quality and distribution of the licensed game, facing legal disputes, or damaging the reputation of the game licensor. This panel will explore the strategies and considerations for game developers negotiating a video game licensing deal.

IP Collaboration Licensing
Game developers often seek collaboration with well-known intellectual properties (IPs) by integrating popular characters and stories into their games for short-term promotions. Negotiating a “fair and balanced” contract with well-known IP licensors isn’t easy. This panel will explore common licensor requirements, and the business logic behind these terms.
