U.S. Senator Introduces Bill To Ban Loot Boxes And Pay-To-Win Microtransactions

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I like loot boxes cause I have discretionary income and thus I can become superior to others via fake stuff in a fake world.

FU to all you socialists who want to take away my hard earned virtual stuff.

Where are they getting the money though? From their parents probably. Their parents should shut it down, not the Government. Or, if their parents are alright with it, they are alright with it.

Eitherway, I think loot boxes are gay as fuck and I'd like them to disappear, but not like this.

Video games are an 18 billion dollar per year industry. I have doubts that you could get 100 people together to try to get Simutronics to cut back on their own microtransactions or even state their odds. How would you expect it to happen any other way than by regulation on an enormously bigger scale?

How many children are playing GS though? Physical children that is, not the middle aged players with the mental capacity of a 10 year old. I'd guess less than 1% of the playerbase is under 18.

Other than DR dig though, which I'm not sure if Simu still even runs, what microtransactions are you referring to that would need odds posted? That's the only real slot machine P2W event I can think of offhand.

Digging, the sewers, that whatever, heist thing, Reim chests, the dollhouse thing. Many of them are hidden behind two or three levels of alternate currency, but there are many systems even in this tiny game that are gambling oriented and offer dubious odds for dollars.

So.. it's not really about "the children" it's about "adults" who can't help themselves about being addicted to "gambling" on text based words...

Not sure the US Government should be involved in supervising "adults" who have a problem.

Maybe, call 1-800-522-4700 instead?

Get some help.
