Gamers can be toxic to devs and vice versa

I think this mindset is often valid but it isn't when outright harm can happen. A gambling mechanic like lootboxes really shouldn't be in something marketed towards kids for example. That's outright preying on children to make money.

Honestly I agree with both sides. Why can't we just agree that both sides are right with conditions in mind. I think there is a line where companies or customer shouldn't cross. I personally don't know any gambling lootboxes marketed towards kids but I agree that isn't right. Those games needs an ESBR rating of M or something. It's also not right to be toxic towards companies for the smallest things or push your ideal to the market. Like I said, this is common sense that people were supposed to learn as they mature...

I do generally oppose the idea of governments getting involved over this sort of thing but I would accept it being required for games with them to get an 18 rating since it is ridiculous that games with them can get the lowest age rating while others get a higher rating for just a bit of violence.
