India deals blow to online gaming industry with 28% tax - LemmyWorld

Did not expect India to be the one to push back on the predatory behavior of micro transactions. Having lived in India for a long time, I’m not sure how much of it is greed but still a positive outcome I guess!
From what I read, the tax is on online gaming as in gambling, apps, not gacha-style microtransactions. Still a good thing though.
What’s the difference?
I think the comment implies it might not be for traditional gaming but rather mainstream gambling and apps like candy crush? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
