Oof

2018-09-23 21:48:22 UTC  

who are lootboxes taking money from? parents who don't pay attention to what their kids are doing

2018-09-23 21:48:27 UTC  

And this was a game that was supposed to be buy to play

2018-09-23 21:48:42 UTC  

Didn't it go f2p partway through or some shit?

2018-09-23 21:48:56 UTC  

Exactly G.. kids have parents. It’s not like kids are out gambling across town. They are in the living room 😂

2018-09-23 21:49:26 UTC  

My worst MTX experience was watching Battlefield Heroes get yeeted by p2win items

2018-09-23 21:50:14 UTC  

Bee, the Hawaii state rep Chris Lee said he wanted to regulate pay to win out of the market. This is leftism today

2018-09-23 21:50:14 UTC  

It was F2P but most of the stuff you'd buy would be expansion content like new classes

2018-09-23 21:50:34 UTC  

they sell it cuz people buy it

2018-09-23 21:50:34 UTC  

>regulate out pay to win
Wew

2018-09-23 21:50:42 UTC  

Just don't buy the game

2018-09-23 21:50:43 UTC  

so you mean all games?

2018-09-23 21:50:43 UTC  

It wasn't like the BAD kind of F2P unless you were into player housing (which involved shelling out for furniture)

2018-09-23 21:51:05 UTC  

becuase all but f2p are "pay to win" as you need to buy the game before you can win it

2018-09-23 21:51:15 UTC  

and that is 110% how that shit would go

2018-09-23 21:51:17 UTC  

It was his words, right after he called battlefront 2 a “Star Wars themed casino designed to lure children in”

2018-09-23 21:51:34 UTC  

like the time one country tried to regulate out online gambling and banned all video games

2018-09-23 21:51:42 UTC  

F2P is basically killing the chicken to get a few eggs

2018-09-23 21:51:45 UTC  

no, it was just a shit game

2018-09-23 21:51:55 UTC  

some f2p do it right

2018-09-23 21:52:08 UTC  

Look at the countries regulating loot boxes.. The EU.. that shit hole spot of the world.

2018-09-23 21:52:35 UTC  

The one that just destroyed their internet,
Lets trust them

2018-09-23 21:52:47 UTC  

Well to be honest I'm glad kids can't play slot machines

2018-09-23 21:52:49 UTC  

>children are the target audience of this T Rated game

2018-09-23 21:53:07 UTC  

Well... I'm thinking about it now and maybe kids need to learn a lesson that slot machines are bad

2018-09-23 21:53:23 UTC  

bad?

2018-09-23 21:53:25 UTC  

Maybe Jim Sterling can get an endorsement from Nambla

2018-09-23 21:53:35 UTC  

slot machines are basically cons now

2018-09-23 21:53:39 UTC  

i mean, children frequently are the target audiences of T and sometimes M rated games

2018-09-23 21:53:48 UTC  

sometimes? you mean most of hte time?

2018-09-23 21:53:51 UTC  

No way, they are an offer. Take it or leave it

2018-09-23 21:53:58 UTC  

No, they're explicitly regulated to be not a con

2018-09-23 21:54:16 UTC  

ah

2018-09-23 21:54:18 UTC  

they are chance games.

2018-09-23 21:54:20 UTC  

They have to pay out X % of the time minimum

2018-09-23 21:54:34 UTC  

you looked at the way modern day ones work?

2018-09-23 21:54:49 UTC  

they have moving goal posts

2018-09-23 21:54:51 UTC  

I mean if slot machines were good they wouldn't make the owner money

2018-09-23 21:55:00 UTC  

Truly, I think gambling is fine and I would allow my 9 yr old to do it, being monitored like all event ofc

2018-09-23 21:55:13 UTC  

Yeah true

2018-09-23 21:55:18 UTC  

you need to teach kids how to gamble, like how to drink
