Welcome to Issue 4 of the Dorsey Legal Arcade, our newsletter chronicling legal developments impacting the video game industry. At Dorsey & Whitney LLP, we have a strong international practice and an interest in changes in the law around the world that could affect our clients. That’s why we chose to kick off this issue with a feature article discussing online child safety and video game regulations in China. Our second feature discusses a recent court decision asking the question, are video games works of art? Finally, this issue summarizes 25 United States court decisions from 2022 relating to such topics as loot boxes and consumer protection, the conflict between IP rights and video game realism, online harassment, jurisdiction and venue problems for foreign parties, cheat software, and others.
