So Belgium just forced Activision Blizzard to remove all its loot boxes from overwatch. I want to see peoples thought on this. From what I have seen from the "Gaming Community" they see it as a win and good thing. I don't however. Thoughts
Even if it did effect gameplay why have governments intervention? Just boycott it like Star Wars tm Battlefront tm 2 EA tm
I agree it's gambling though. I'd much rather be able to choose the digital product I purchance without buying 0/? boxes with a chance of getting what I want
It the problem of loot boxes lies in the gray zone of gambling and that is heavy regulated in most European nations
I'm certain it is gambling
the fact that it provides no "In-game" changes is irrelevant, you are buying something because you see worth in particular skins
if it provided in-game advantages it wouldn't only be called **Gambling**, but it would also be labelled **Pay-to-win**
It gambling in all but name. It the gambling laws that are not updated to the age of loot boxes
Some loot boxes do give in fact game advantages. Look at fifa games where you can spend thousands of dollars and still not get the best players in the game
@Nordhand It __is__ definable as gambling, there just isn't any regulations as of yet against it.
Governments are a slow moving beast and in this case they are waiting on what the rest of governments do first

Is it gambling though? You can't gain anything if greater or lesser worth. If lootboxes are gambling how bout trading cards
well it's a tricky business; they don't want to see as the oppressor for implanting regulations, but on the other hand these businesses are just going to continue to push their luck.
Trading cards are already registered under gambling, hence **Trading**-card games
You can buy cards off Ebay and other marketplaces. You cant trade in **Untradable** e-content, you can only posses it by gambling your chances. @Gustavus Adolphus

They're finally posted
I thought they already had been
And people were pissed because the people who weren't posting them were claiming they were but that they were 'editing the cuts together' or some shit
It has evidence that Kraut was false flagged, working on the permissions
permissions?
Anyone wanna watch a religion debate at 7PM BST?

Like people who visit Thailand, come back to Oz and then complain about having to pay $25 for a brown packet of ciggies with a picture of a literal corpse on the packaging <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
