Smaller companies in the gaming industry are encountering significant hurdles in adhering to the UK Online Safety Act (OSA), according to Andrew Wailes, founder of PlaySafe ID. The OSA aims to create a safer online environment, particularly for children, by imposing strict regulations on how companies manage user-generated content and data privacy.
Wailes highlights that while larger firms often have the resources to navigate these complexities, smaller developers may struggle due to limited budgets and personnel. This disparity raises concerns about the potential for innovation to be stifled within the gaming sector. Many smaller companies are grappling with the financial and operational implications of compliance, which could ultimately lead to a reduction in the diversity of games available to consumers.
The OSA's requirements include rigorous content moderation and enhanced protections for vulnerable users, which can be burdensome for smaller entities. As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, it is crucial for policymakers to consider the unique challenges faced by smaller developers to ensure a balanced approach to online safety.
