Loot Boxes are starting to to be banned in other countries because not only do they prey on kids, it's also a for of gambling. Which is why what is considered to be gambling needs to be updated to include current things such as loot boxes/crates.

2021-11-10 20:54:43 +0000 UTCI dont like the "for the kids" arguement either but loot boxes and microtransactions in general fuck up games. It wasnt that long ago that most of the stuff you can buy in ingame shops or gamble on with lootboxes was a innate feature in games. Even worse are XP boosts sold as timesavers. They make you pay to not play the game and set up the progress in a way that you either have to play a game as a full time job to get anywhere or buy their bs. If you care about games you should hate lootboxes and any kind of microtransaction.

2021-11-10 16:26:44 +0000 UTCPaul was speaking to my spirit in this podcast. There is an entire realm of colorful and deeply diverse entertainment for kids. Society does not need to expand that realm. Especially if it begins to downsize adult entertainment!

2021-11-09 20:20:22 +0000 UTCTheJimSterlingShow on YouTube did a pretty good episode on loot boxes. I don't know if I 100% agree with her but it is a very interesting perspective the hosts or any fans that are interested in the subject should check out

2021-11-08 22:15:50 +0000 UTCPaul defending loot boxes sounds horribly uninformed. What games have anti loot box settings for kids? Never seen one in my life. Good luck being a good parent while also hovering over your kid at all times to make sure they aren't tainted by unethical business practices. Then you also have to deal with your kid being bullied by the FOMO issue with a lot of kids game cultures now if you don't buy some stuff for them. So sure you could say no but now you're possibly ostracizing them from others if you refuse to buy none at all. It's not even remotely as simple as just don't buy them for your kid. Also they inherently makes games worse anyway on that principle fuck them.
