With the regulators looming, Google Play now shows a price range for in-app purchases

People buying mobile games on Android will now have a better idea of what they could end up spending on microtransactions.

Google updated its Play app market today to reveal more information in response to the European Union cracking down on free-to-play mobile games. The biggest change is that customers downloading apps on Google Play will now see a price range for in-app purchases. For example, if you go to download the free Just Dance Now game from publisher Ubisoft, you will see that you can spend anywhere between 99 cents and $63.92 on digital goods. This change is to help give consumers more information and to help protect Google and developers from liability. The European Commission, the executive body of the EU, held meetings earlier this year to discuss what to do about what it considers the shady practices of mobile games.
