Trigger the parents, and we'll see regulations come pretty quickly.

Get fucked EA ,WB , Activision-Blizzard, microsoft, ubisoft and sony ...

 

And anyone that wants loot boxes and microtranasations in the game that are not free to play.

Sony's doing lootboxes?

Uncharted 4's MP has loot boxes. Although if I remember correctly there's no duplicates in them and all items can be directly bought with real money instead of relying on luck.

This will work out just as well as the investigation of Facebook by the Belgian privacy commission.

Wow, that sounds like some thin ice stuff. I admit though I'm starting to like digital goods. Gambling can go to hell though.

Excellent. Unfortunately I'm not expecting anything to change as a result of this.



It's a grey area.... Technically it's not gambling, but it uses the same sort of manipulation as gambling. At least, loot boxes. Regular microtransactions is still shady and manipulative, but you at least know what you pay for there...



I hate pay-to-win-lootboxes as much as the next guy but it doesn't even resemble gambling in the slightest. Come on now. Obviously nothing will happen.
