Cosmetics might not affect the gameplay directly, but what they do affect is arguably worse which is the psyche of the actual player and the desire to have all the latest and greatest, the need to collect and show off. It's a real thing and why countries are going after such tactics in games on the basis of gambling and addiction. Again all your doing is stating some buzzword bullshit about psyche when the statistics dont bear out this phenomenon. A small minority of people are consuming these things and while they might care about having the latest and greatest, the vast majority of gamers simply do not care about thatotherwise whales wouldnt exist as a MT/LB concept. Countries arent going after this concept of needing the latest and greatest in a game. They are going after allowing minors to gamble. That is it. Pretty much every country that is investigating LBs has legalized gambling or doesnt prosecute gambling. LBs Allowing minors to gamble is what these countries are interested in. --- Quit Crying ...
