Moderate games are good for health, but the real-life impact of game types is still very controversial. According to foreign media reports, the Mexican Ministry of Finance announced that it will increase taxes on violent games by 8% starting in 2026.
·The starting point of this policy change comes from Mexico’s new perspective, “in order to effectively curb the consumption of products that are harmful to national physical and mental health.” Violent games have obviously been targeted by Mexico. As for how to determine whether a new game is violent and how to judge the severity, it is still open to discussion.
·At the same time, the tax rate for online gambling websites and games has been increased from the original 30% to 50%.
