But between charity and predatory practices, there's a middle ground. Any game will have to stop these practices sooner or later, you might as well get used to this idea. 

Yeah sure :kappa

Imagine, surely politicans, instead of solving actuall isues like war, covid, ecomonic crysis, inflation... the list is long... they will coming here, and prohibit PA from banning countries from buying virtual items in their video game, yeah seems legit.

Oh those precious "that guy" lines:

"we won´t change the business lol"

"it´s the way it is deal with it"

"business ain´t charity lol"

"politicians never listen to their voters lol" 

Wise guy, do you even leave your bed in the morning cause I mean, it´s all futile and anything ever changes, right?

Imagine thinking that their "voters" are sweaty fat gamer dudues kek.

Like you represent what? 0.001% of the population?

some sort of laws are being considered in eu at least.

Yea right, such a law would only affect like 0.001% "fat sweaty population" - you should maybe consider leaving the buidling sometimes... 

I heard that even in the US at least some republican senators are reluctant to propose a regulation onto lootboxes in gaming. It IS gambling after all and gambling is regulated for good reasons, I don´t think anyone would second-guess that even.

This isn't a case of "blame your government" this is a case of blame the developer because they know exactly what they are doing. They are pissy becasue they cant sell you their scam boxes for $50 each that have a 5% chance of you breaking even or getting better rewards, so they shit on you as much as humanly possible so you in turn put pressure on your governemnt to repeal the laws. This is 100% the devs being little scumbag children because a government dared to protect their citizens from predatory marketing.

ROTFL. Pearl gambling lock is good but silver gambling lock is bad?

Don't like it don'y buy it doesn't work because devs always go after "whales". They will literally make games worse and screw over the majority of their playerbase just to predate on mentally ill "whales". Developers will even go as far as to dip into racketeering. And yes, creating the problems just to sell the solution is classic racketeering. The only reason these game companies get passed RICO is because people in the government are 100 year old dinosaurs who still don't get that there is real money in the video game industry and it affects real people and real lives.
