I believe this is a good decision since some AAA games have been incorporating some P2W aspects into their games with crates/loot boxes and it's about time a country finally is now regulating this. Companies have before mid-June to modify their loot boxes, and if they don't they're going to get fined or have their game banned. Games like Overwatch, League Of Legends and Fortnite will be fine since these games don't have any in-game purchases that give an unfair advantage because they're mainly cosmetics.
Here's an article if you want to read up on it.
