Does gaming need greater government scrutiny?

He's completely right.
Video games literally take some of the most addicting tactics we've figured out so far.
I think most people on this board will agree their lives would have been better had they never gotten into video games.
>a privileged celebrity living life on easy mode thinks he knows what's best for the average person
Every fucking time
All the adverts on the tele have been banned, what will we do tonight?

Good plan, short man.

You're fucking retarded to ignore how games are built to addict, just look at how every video popular video game now has:
>dailies
>RNG rewards that encourage "just one more try" mentality
>Skinner box gameplay
>entire games as a service model in general
Ban loot boxes
I would argue the UK should dismantle its monarchy but their country is becoming increasingly irrelevant and isolated so eh who cares.
Not an addictive substance.
I wish I had a fortnite husband that only plays fortnite all day long. I'd suck his little dick that he hasn't washed in 3 days because he's so addicted to the game. I'd hope that every successful cumshot I get out of him gives him a better chance of getting that victory royale. I'd buy him vbucks, feed him and clean him every day and service him during the night. I'd be a total bitch to him like he is to fortnite. God, the thought alone makes me so hard
Even little freddy is judging big freddy
I don't know user, I wouldn't give up masturbating five times a day to h-games for anything.
what power does he hold over the continent of england? can he actually get it banned?
>brits
dont they have enough trouble with trying to figure out how brexit is meant to work?
He's a Prince. His opinion has more value than yours.
I played it and I'm not addicted
In fact I struggled to find a reason to keep playing, the game is a snooze fest
>Not an addictive substance.
Neither is gambling with money you fucking retard and that's considered an addiction. Addiciton isn't defined by a subatance you take but rather how your brain craves it/reacts without it.
I wasn't born with an addictive personality and these games lose me quick.
Why can't we just make good, creative experiences?
I have to stick to indie games now.
Let's ban cigarettes, alcohol and social media while we're at it. What a fantastic idea. It's just not workable to be frank.
gaming is the same thing with vidya to you? Do you even play videogames?
Who cares what a literal nigger lover thinks
How many divorces were caused by alcohol in that period or infidelity? Let's ban sex and liquor too.
Loot boxes/gacha affect the mind precisely the same as gambling.
>I think most people on this board will agree their lives would have been better had they never gotten into video games.
wrong, it would have been terrible
He's British royalty, they're all just figureheads these days and no one actually cares what they think.
???
>wants to ban fortnite
>doesn't want to stop rapefugees
Stop. Seek help. You're better than this. Set higher standards for yourself.
OI YOU GOT YOUR BATTLE ROYAL LOICENSE?
>Let's ban cigarettes, alcohol
We do. To children. That was his point.
The fact that you're posting in this thread proves you wrong.
you dont even know me :(
Of course not. Is this a real question?
It's a goddamn video game. It's a TOY. Imagine banning a toy because it's "too fun." It's fucking stupid. If kids are obsessed with it, then the parents ought to be held responsible for not properly managing their kids and how they are investing their time.
Always, fucking always, people blame everything besides the parents. The parents are the ones to blame MOST OF ALL, yet they are blamed the least. It's fucking astounding.
Wall when?
The fucking loot boxes too. At some point we're getting into gambling territory.
The ginger nazi is completely right in what he's saying in the end, banning might be a bit much but the fact he's bringing attention to it is good enough.
I'm so glad the British are taking a pro-active stance against socially destructive behavior.
Mind your own business, Harry.
brits are fucking degenerates anyway

"The court jester as spoken" - one commenter from the article. I lol'd.
Parents should be more proactive than reactive (hands in the air).
>"Harry earned a reputation in his youth for being rebellious, leading the tabloid press to label him a "wild child".[136] At age 17 he was seen smoking cannabis and partaking in underage drinking with his friends, and clashing physically with paparazzi outside nightclubs.[136] He was photographed at Highgrove House at a "Colonial and Native" themed costume party wearing a Nazi German Afrika Korps uniform with a swastika armband.[137] He later issued a public statement apologising for his behaviour.[138]"
Fuck video games though, so toxic and irresponsible.
this
honestly I think the royal family should stay away from politics at least in public, but harry's older brother and his two sons would have to die or abdicate before he gets to be king so it isn't likely to happen fortunately.
I fucking hate the state of this country sometimes. the way things are is that people expect not to be independent and make decisions for themselves and the government expects to regulate everything. I played fortnite for a few weeks and lost interest in it without paying anything. why should I be banned from playing it? I just don't understand the collectivistic attitude to things like this.
>wearing nazi uniform
>a bad thing
>especially from a german family
literally don't see the problem
"“It’s like waiting for the damage to be done and kids turning up on your doorsteps and families being broken down. Fortnite shouldn’t be allowed. Where is the benefit in having that game in your household? ""
I may not like Fortnite, being a grumpy older gamer, but I hate censorship even more.
So before his majesty starts telling people what should and shouldn't be allowed, maybe his subjects should ask themselves should it be allowed for his entire extended family to live off their taxes.
Why does GB even keep the royals around? They just take up money and don't do anything useful.
>Let's ban cigarettes, alcohol and social media
2 of the 3 are those are legally age restricted. And honestly if social media was nuked it would be a good thing.
It's getting pretty blatant these days.
wtf I love restrictive laws now?
>created to addict
But not cigarettes, alcohols and drugs, amirite!
They actually generate a lot of profit via toursism/merchandise.
Because they're very popular with the general public. Unfortunately we didn't take their heads off when it was fashionable in the rest of Europe, now we're kind of stuck with them.
This but unironically
Which are all banned to children you fucking retard. He was speaking about children.
My life without videogames is even more anti-social. I did that for a year and I ended up drowning myself in podcast and audiobooks.
Literally only talked to people at work when I did that.
Stupid argument that dumb royalists always make. Tourists come to see the trappings of royalty, not the royals themselves. Japanese tourists will still come and take pictures of Buckingham Palace whether there's a tax draining throwback in there or not.
Right for the wrong reasons.
Fortnite should be banned to teach zoomers a lesson.
I came here to loicense post. Oh well. Have a you.
Also, the Prince is right in his desire to tell people what to do and take away their freedom. Fortnite really is that cancerous. What would be funny though is if came out he's just a Apex fan.

HOW CAN YOU BE ADDICTED TO IT
THE BUILDING FUNCTION IS SO STUPID, LITTLE SHITS CONSTANTLY BUILDING WALLS, JUST GET OUT THERE AND SHOOT
Yes. You would have to know nothing about game design to think that their games aren't designed from the ground up to be addicting. Not to mention it promotes extremely unhealthy escapism as their primary source of happiness and fulfillment.
>but muh bad parenting
That is PROOF that it should be banned for kids outside of educational games. Lack of awareness of how serious the effects of such a potent escape coping mechanism can have if normalized is destroying futures.
how about we ban banning?
No, next question!
The king/queen can dissolve the government at any moment and resume direct rule. Don't let the law change fool you. In a "grave constitutional crisis" the monarch can resume absolute rule, and no one there knows what a grave constitutional crisis would entail. Trying to remove the monarch completely probably would qualify. They are also immune from taxes or prosecution. They can appoint lords. The royals are still a part of the government and it's all pretty odd. Although once the Muslim horde becomes too much, the Brits will be glad the royal family exists to normalize the country.
