Bill 2686 (note, this is not the entire bill, click the following link if you want to see the entire bill): https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2018/bills/HB2686_.pdf

"§481B-  Video games; restrictions.  (a)  It shall be unlawful for any retailer to sell to any person under twenty-one years of age a video game that contains a system of further purchasing:

     (1)  A randomized reward or rewards; or

(b) No video game publisher shall at any time modify a game to contain or otherwise permit the inclusion of additional content for which the game was not appropriately labeled at the time of original sale."

I wonder what this would mean for DLC.

Don't think it means anything as long as you had the label when your game launched. The way I understand it it basically means you can't add loot boxes or anything like that post-launch.

Absolutely nothing unless the DLC contains loot boxes/"randomized reward" that weren't never mentioned in the main game. The labeling decisively refers to the previous stanzas that require loot boxes/"randomized reward" to be properly labeled prominently.

That's good. Now if enough countries/states do something similar then devs will have to choose between having loot boxes in their game with older/wiser people only being able to buy it versus their game being able to be played/bought by teens.

Why can't we just go the Japan route? Not even person under 21 is a reckless ten year old who drops thousands on Angry birds 32.

For anyone not familiar, Japan basically places a limit depending on the game. For example, a game will have 5000 'points' that you can use to buy microtransactions with. Once you spend the equivalent of X points (typically hovering around equal values), then you have to wait until the beginning of the next month.

I think it'd be a better solution instead of an outright banning. the labels however aren't too shabby of an idea - it'll help the uneducated know what games they're getting for themselves and others

The government is controlling how you spend your money? No thank you.

Dang, it this such a big problem among kids? I've heard stories of them spending tons of money on accident, but does that happen often?

Do kids buy loot boxes? I don't hear that case too often. I wanna know how they get the funds to do so as well...

...That's completely incorrect.

They aren't 'controlling' your money. They still allow microtransactions but make companies state the odds of randomly generated results (loot boxes and whatnot) and place limits to prevent addictions or whales from being common. 

This isn't 1984 - we aren't going to die because Japan realizes how dangerous microtransactions are.
