1) dont play the game or dont buy the chips/money

2) dont let you kid play an adult game

There, 2 easy solutions, not the difficult

How?

I feel like gamers have this must collect all items in the game mentality

Its cosmetic stuff to dress up your characters big deal

Maybe todays videogames are past you gamers

Proponents of capitalism always criticize how games like to nickel and dime the consumer for everything theyre worth and put any other value as secondary to maximizing profits through the most obscene means possible with zero respect to any creative integrity.
And yet they dont see the irony, that this is exactly what it means to make a successful product in capitalism.

its from 400 level iq from Rockstar

Media: "LOOT BOXES ARE GAMBLING!"
Lawmakers: "We're going to make this illegal!"
Gamers: "NO MORE GAMBLING MECHANICS IN GAMES!! WE HATE YOU EA!!!"

Rockstar: "what's next for gta5... *turns on news* THATS IT!"

some of the most fun things about video games are the little rewards like cosmetics. any person who has been playing video games for a long time can probably tell you a story of how they tried to beat the game on the hardest difficulty to unlock a new costume, grinded content in an MMO for months or even years just to get a cool mount, etc.

perhaps the most insidious things to ever happen to gaming is developers tricking consumers into buying a $60 game and then leading the consumers to think that they arent entitled to anything in the game beyond the bare minimum experience. then the devs probably laugh as they make a billion dollars in cosmetic microtransactions

It's literally a much better idea to go to a real casino than to the GTA casino

This, at least real casinos are legal and you can earn actual money.

I woke up at 4am this morning and finally figured I'd try it.

I saw people just going to black jack, betting 5000 dollars, getting 20 and asking for a hit.

Blew my fucking mind. This is gonna be a fucking goldmine for Rockstar.

Especially since all of the casino chip exclusive items are the dumbass gaudy clothing that only children buy.

The whole loot boxes as gambling thing is a very hot button issue right now, so obviously a game that adds actual gambling where you can use real money is going to garner some criticism
