| Topic | Why are people acting like Belgium saying Lootboxes are gambling means anything? |

Obviously there needs to be some protections for the consumers. I guess the problem is when does the line cross into being exploitive? It seems hard to define. The catalyst for this controversy was that it takes 40 hours to unlock Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker in BF2. That's totally shit. But I believe this was purchasing the characters outside of a lootbox. So it wouldn't be impacted by this change anyway. A lot of people take issue that purchasing lootboxes gives you a competitive advantage. Which yes is totally shit. But again that doesn't really make a difference when it comes to gambling. Do people want there to be a distinction? It just gets more and more convoluted. It seems like a nice solution in theory. But if this actually gets anywhere it's going to lead to a lot of headaches I think. A lot of people are gonna get screwed over. Not just companies. I live in Australia. I know what it's like to live in a country where good intentions have lead to some stupid bans. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ... Copied to Clipboard! |
