Best you can do is read the actual text they published. It’s just eight pages.
The actually useful bit of that article is the link to the press release. Oddly, the press release does NOT say what that article says it says.
The article:
Europe’s CPC (Consumer Protection Cooperation Network) confirmed that they’re calling for changes in the way games present their currency.
The press release:
the CPC Network is presenting today key principles to help the gaming industry comply with the EU consumer protection rules related to in-game virtual currencies. (…) The key principles and the Common Position are based on the existing general rules of EU consumer law directives that apply to digital services and digital content provided to consumers, including video games.
I don’t know if it’s a problem with reading comprehension, the increasing deprofessionalization of games journalism or what, but the reporting on this is consistently… bad.
That’s still clickbait. Is there no honest source?

Clickbait is just 100x more effective, unfortunately. Anybody not doing it is throwing money away.
Back in the day you paid for newspapers and they were already paid for by the time they were written and reached your lawn so there was no need.
Today the only way to make money is to dangle a carrot and get a click to drive advertising revenue.
