You retards realize that banning lootboxes is only the first step right? Every single time we let the government make these retarded, arbitrary, nigger-rigged rules we lose our freedoms and our games get shittier and more expensive because the devs now have to cut costs and find other ways to make money.
Enjoy your shit overpriced games, you communist retards.
You retards realize that banning lootboxes is only the first step right...
I don't give a fuck blizzcel. Fuck MTX
>Banning loot boxes with randomized content equals not allowing micro transactions
You dumb fucking idiot.
This is not arbitrary
gambling should be subjected to gambling laws
>banning unregulated gambling for children bad
Well fuck YOU nigger.
Fuck you too.
Why aren't we banning violent games then? Clearly nobody is actually thinking about the children
>Can't defend his argument even once
Pathetic.
Don't bother, Yea Forums is full of retard npc statists
Gambling laws are also retarded, arbitrary and nigger-rigged. The government has no say in where I spend my money.

Fuck off gun control mom.

Videogames reaching the mainstream were a mistake.
When they are forced underground the good times will return.

Because there are age rankings in EU for games you tripple nigger, you can't buy Call of Duty if you aren't 18 officially, and thats a good thing
I don't give a fuck. Just try to make games more expensive. I play on PC anyway.
Oh hey, a shill for EA.
Besides, it's not going to get rid of all DLC, just this shit which plays on human psychology in a big way.
Not all regulation is bad. And of course, not all of it is good. Nothing is black and white.
>implying I have to buy their games when they jack up the prices
Enjoy your low sales numbers, you fucks.
Yes, just ignore it you sad little man.
Who decides what's good or bad for your psyche? Stop being a fucking cuck and decide for yourself you retarded manchild.
>the devs now have to cut costs
Great. Now you have an excuse to cut out all those bullshit hiring positions like "diversity officer" and "empathy coordinator." No company needs them. That is literally what your existing Human Resources department is supposed to do.
> freedoms
They're electronic gambling, gambling has always been illegal for minors as well as in most states and as there is no way to truly stop minors from buying games/no way they're going to tailor make games for each state I think this is more than fine.
Me
Fuck gambling, fuck kikes and fuck you.
>the word freedom triggers a negative response
Retarded NPC.
Games have been overpriced for over a decade now, what the fuck are you talking about.
blame the companies that couldn't keep their dicks in their pants
now we all are going to suffer because of them
>slavery has always been legal anyways
>I think this is more than fine
This is your brain on statism.
Go be free in Somalia, fucking libcuck.
This.
OP is just a corporate shill, or a neckbeard whale crying over losing his pay to win advantage.
Didn't read. Nobody with a soul actually gives a shit if loot boxes get banned since they were only introduced in games to excuse the lack of effort on their end and for pure greed. I'd rather they just let us straight up buy the damn things instead of randomising it so that I can get what I want and stop playing when I want. The draw for loot boxes is to artificially pad out people's play time by making the only rewards in the game locked behind a randomized chance at getting the one thing you want out of a sea of worthless other trash like voice clips, sprays and banners. Nobody fucking wants that sewage. It's literally created and added in there for clutter and to further pad out playtime and lessen the chances that people get the decent shit.
Anyone who defends loot boxes are people are actually deserve to be killed. They are not healthy for the video game industry and they are not healthy for the consumer. If game developers wish to keep nickle and diming everybody then stop randomising their shit and just list it with a god damn price tag so I can get it over with, or better yet, how about don't do that at all and just make it reasonably unlockable through in game actions like challenges of something, like how old games used to do it.
> muh niggers
based consoyvative
Are you some kind of lootbox shill? Lootboxes are awful for the consumer side of things.
That would be fine and dandy for adults, but they're doing it to kids that don't know better.
Besides, I'm pretty happy to get rid of this fucking poison. Especially since companies are now trying to sell you the game for $60 PLUS loot box shit.
Fuck that greedy ass shit.
Did companies influence some of the people that much over the past years that they now DEMAND lootbox gambling in their games?
This is sad and hilarious at the same time.
All the shit that's in lootboxes today used to be free in games just for playing. Remember unlockable content? Remember cheat codes? Anyone defending lootboxes is a zoomer faggot.
Don't like them? Nobody is forcing you to buy them.
Stop with these retarded nanny state arguments.
Why would it raise prices? Games cost as much as the market is willing to pay. Kotick said he'd raise the price of CoD if he could get away with it.
Are you the same faggot who defend epic store? Shitboxes should be banned everywhere, it's a cancerous practice. Based Belgians.
>Every single time we let the government make these retarded, arbitrary, nigger-rigged rules we lose our freedoms
This translates to:
>When corporations trample over me
I sleep
>When gubermint tries to regulate corporate buttfuckery
REEEEEEE MUH FREEDOMS
Remember. This is your brain on Jewish propaganda. Don't be like user. Be smart. Don't do kikery.
You know it's a problem when during the game planning meetings there is talk about how to monetize the game, or about post sales revenue streams. New age developers and publishers need to get fucked. a gaming crash cant come fast enough
Whenever someone makes a case in favor of loot boxes, it only makes you look like a boot licker.
Corporatism is CAUSED BY GOVERNMENT REGULATION YOU DUMB NIGGER.
Whales buy them and it fucks over game design for the rest of us.
>No it doesn't
Shadow of War.
Issue is he knows he cant. Market is basically capped already, look at all the people saying "X game looks good, cant wait for it to be on sale" or " I'd play game Y if it was cheaper"
>This is what freedum oriented capitalism supporters think
Embarrassing. If anything state needs to regulate more shit so the money guzzling pigs won't get too fat to crush everyone below them.
So, just because nobody is forcing me to buy booze or handguns, that means 11 year olds should be allowed to buy a bottle of vodka and a handgun if they feel like it?
Then again I wouldn't expect someone with autism to have the necessary empathy to understand things from someone else perspective.
This is not one of those times. This is a rule about corporations not being able to buttfuck dumbass kids or prey on weak willed whales.
Yea Forums STILL can't defend this without going
>muh children
>muh customer needs a nanny state
Based retards.
>state needs to regulate more shit
Looks at all the major cities in the US and then check back with me
Why the fuck are you blaming us when it's EA/Activision/Bethesda/etc.'s fault?
Retards wouldn't regulate their own shit and strong-armed the ESRB into being on their side, now big daddy government is stepping in.
Yes. Who the fuck are you to decide for others?
On one hand nobody is forced to buy lootboxes, that is a fact.
On the other hand, fuck these greedy corporate assholes for chopping out game content to sell later even after paying the admission price.
Get fucked corporate shill.
>unregulated gambling for children good
I'd say yes. It's not the governments job to parent kids or to say who's allowed to buy a product. If the kid dies or kills someone then we have consequences as well. When did the state become the parent?
lmao you fucking retard
>muh children
Like clockwork.
>unregulated gambling for children good
lootboxes, and all microtransactions including cosmetic should be banned and then maybe gaming will finally be good again. stupid fucking zoomer good goy retard
The latest battlefront game is a great example of this also. When they got in hot shit for how much desperate bs was in the game begging players to buy loot boxes, EA was all over the place saying "it's just cosmetic" and "it's not lay to win, you can unlock all the skin through gameplay if you reeeeally wanted to." Then some countries banned loot boxes anyway, and it turned out that the grind to get even a single hero skin was something stupid like 800 hours of gameplay
No but it totally doesn't effect game design at all
>it's a slippery slope! don't let government gain more control!
>let corporations do it instead.
It's not the states role to parent its citizens. Simply offering a service is not a crime. If anything I'd like to see the state go after the parents when their crotch goblin gets addicted to loot boxes.
>unregulated gambling for children good
Shhh, every person has perfect agency as if they lived in a vacuum and would never allow their purchasing be influenced by extremely studied and thought out business strategies. Not even children are this S T U P I D, are you saying children are stupid?
Nice arguement. Say it a couple more times and its bound to be true.
>unregulated gambling for children good
why is it that ancap retards only ever get triggered when corporate profits are threatened? as if thats the worst thing governments do
>unregulated gambling for children good
That's not a bad idea user. Can't wait until they legalize crack cocaine. I bet it'd sell.
Corporations are not backed by the police and the judicial system. Much rather have a scumbag company cranking out lootboxes that I can safely ignore than a government which can put me in prison if I dont follow groupthink.
>t. stupid child that needs another man to govern his life
Based goyboy.
its not the states role to charter limited liability corporations either, why aren't you up in arms about that?
I can't, I'm busy admiring how inefficient American private healthcare system is. Leave it in private hands, all it does - it eats money for no results.
>we lose our freedoms
No, "we" don't lose shit. YOU lose your freedom to jew us. Make honest games with honest monetization models or pay the price.
So you think children shouldn't be allowed to have basic human rights. Good to know.
What's your point?
>it fucks over game design for the rest of us
It's not the government's responsibility to keep your hobby alive. If going after whales is more profitable, then why should publishers give a shit about you?
and by limited liability corporations, i mean all corporations, because all corporations limit your legal liability
What was your argument again europoor?
Yes, I love heavily regulated """""private""""" health care too!
>Corporations are not backed by the police and the judicial system
Yes they are, retard,
What human right?
actually yes they are, the corporate person and structure is upheld and protected by the state, EA is a statist company. youre a hypocrite
Children shouldn't smoke crack cocaine you stupid nigger, and they shouldn't gamble either.
>being prohibited from buying certain things is a human right
Really makes you think about (((who))) is behind this post.
Reminder that everyone who defends lootboxes will be dealt with on the day of the rope.
So it's a human right to be allowed lootboxes?
Fuck off kike.
The most fair approach would be to increase the age restriction for a game to 18+ if it contains lootbox gambling for money.
The companies would get scared that it will affect their sells and think about not doing it anymore.
So they still have the freedom to put them in the game, but minors shouldn't have access to it.
Guess that is not working well if everyone can buy games digital without any control.
>hurrrrr any regulation BAD!!
Kill yourself. Although I don't think these type of lootboxes are bad. I think the bullshit EA does with their sport games, where the game is literally built around it, or mobile games that just pocket squeeze. Overwatch and fucking league lootboxes are harmless.
NOOO YOU CAN'T REGULATE GAMBLING YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE
Corporations should be allowed to legally offer that product, it's not their fault if dumb normalfags don't realize the risk of crack cocaine addiction.
Anyone who defends lootboxes either works in EA/Activision, never had kids or just never payed taxes. It's government's job to protect kids from gambling.
>Overwatch and fucking league lootboxes are harmless
No they're not.
There is only one kind of lootbox that's harmless and that's one that cannot be bought with real money.
Game companies had their chance to police themselves on this issue just like they did with the ESRB 20+ years ago, they didn't. Bitch at them for being stupid about their jewish practices. Blaming government over trying to control shit is like blaming a dog for barking, it's what they do. Only way to prevent it from doing what it wants and it's meant to do is to not give it any room to get in there and publishers gave them that room. Let them get fucked in the ass now for being stupid.
THINK OF THE COOPERATIONS
Only in so far that they drafted a legal contract that you, the consumer, agree to by using their product and thus potentially waive your legal rights. The contract is then enforced by the state same as any legally binding document.
Niggers deserve it. Fucking scums that make people pay to gacha.
>Corporations should be allowed to have unregulated gambling
I was just pointing out how retarded that user's argument was.
I agree, it it's not the responsibility of the state.
>"woke" leftists in gaming 2010-2018
Government is the answer to everything. Gimme more dem programs. But don't get involved in lootboxes, they're "free" content. If you don't like it don't buy it bro.
>"woke" leftists in gaming 2019

These kind of lootboxes are very grindy and cause game addiction. Lootboxes are never harmless.

So children smoking crack cocaine should be legal?
whoa
powerful...
>Implying this isn't some retard that was hired to throw shit anywhere possible
Imagine being so desperate for attention that you adopt the contrarian stance that lootboxes are actually fine and should be left alone.
He is not wrong, it's fine to sell a game like that, just don't hide it behind a kid's game.
Games are cheaper in Russia but i cant buy them as an Euro.
Didnt realize it was the governments job to superceded the parents and enforce arbitrary rules that dont factor in anything about the kids mental faculties. Good thing we have this completely infallible government that is current with the times.
It's fine to have unregulated gambling?
You know, the basic ones.
Then again maybe I'm just odd that I think it's good we don't allow parents to murder and torture their children, or rape them, or sell them as slaves, or lock them in a dungeon their entire lives.
Yes. For people with limited or undeveloped mental faculties. Like children, or retards.
No. But protecting them from their parents retardation is.
Everything works better while regulated and supervised by government, simple. Because the government it's a body that has just enough power to defend people from ruch pigs.
good, remove capital from videogames
>anti-regulation is left wing
Based retard.
>Didnt realize it was the governments job to superceded the parents
It is when the parents fail to parent their children.
That's a terrible argument.
ESRB works perfectly fine IF the parent is following its guidelines. It's a none enforceable labeling that requires parental and shopkeepers envolvement
Just make a shop and stop being a shit leeching piece of shit. Buying cosmetics is perfectly fine for making money, loot boxes are just a way of being a soul sucking greedy ass company
Yeah remember when the US government (who had their hands forced by grassroots workers unions) imposed minimum wage laws and forced companies to give their workers weekends off, man what a mistake that was imagine the pyramids we could've built.
the game industry deserves it's crash
>superceded the parents
What can parent do? Ban kid from playing games? That's not the answer. Are you seriously expecting from children to have critical thinking and self-awareness?
RANDOM VIDEOGAME ITEMS BAD
RANDOM TOYS AND CARDS GOOD
>t. group think NPC
Yes. Are you daft?
I don't care, just keep them away from minors and their games.
>Everything works better while regulated and supervised by government
Maybe on a fucking island of like 30 people like you.
Why would you let the government tell you what you can and can't buy do you enjoy being controlled you dumbo?
I don't think the political sport teams and their stereotypical opinions fit into this discussion.
>inability to detect sarcasm
Based literal retard.
get out of here corporate shill. Youre the actual retard here
Yes. For duck sake how hard is that to grasp. Nobody is forcing anyone to partake in the gambling. If you want to be retarded and throw money at fictional skinner boxes, why is that not ok?
Regulating what can and can't be sold =/= regulating what can and can't be bought.
>Remember when millions of poor people were thrown into homelessness for not producing an ARBITRARY X AMOUNT of dollars a year?
This is what you minimum wage cucks love to hide.
Yes. Because I don't want to go back to feudalism.
So killing and eating people should be legal
>t. professional shitposter on a Tibetan fishing congregate.
Way to jump from allowing kids to buy lootboxes to child rape and slaver. Excellent strawman
Can I get a source on that claim chum?
>more expensive
lol
What freedoms, exactly?
Yeah, most games are shit now. Keeping lootboxes in doesn't make them any better, in fact, worse.
why not it's pretty comfy
Every human on earth is 100% aware of everything that can fuck them over and how and is in a position to avoid it. Anyone in support of any oversight is at fault.
>make the game more "adult" so to increase its ESRB rating and claim its not aimed at kids so its OK and simply the parents fault
>kids play anyway so nothing changes
You must be
Issue is where to draw the line. Some might not like of I let my kid watch R rated movies at 13, should I have my kids taken away since I was not following the movie rating system?
>But what about muh card games?
Physical items you go to the store to buy. Lootboxes are digital so can be easily purchased with a stolen credit card.
NO REGULATIONS AT ALL FOR ANYTHING..... except that... BUT ASIDE FROM THAT NO REGULATIONS
>we don't need regulations, just don't gamble lol
>we don't need police, just don't commit crimes lol
I was responding to a fucking post that said children should be allowed to freely buy alcohol and weaponry because he though the parents should be the only people able to decide the actions of their children. I.E, that children should have basic human rights and be 100% at the mercy of their parents.
>Every human on earth is 100% aware
Is this satire?
lets ban magic the gathering next
>I can't have fun in the video game I bought without spending additional money on cosmetic gambling that could be just unlockable and for free in the game. I WILL PROTECT MY COMPANY OF CHOICE!
You guys are just stupid
By whose definition of parenting?
no, the corporation as an entity itself is a construct created and defended by state, that limits the liability of those that partake in that corporation, you cannot sue the ceo of ea, you can only sue ea
the existance of corporations is an infringement on the free market
Yes, because you gave away the room to get it done. That is my point. Don't. Allow. Them. Entrance.
Read above, the point is not it working, but giving them a reason to back off. Government hates being the bad guy, it's bad press. So if you make the pretend effort to set up a Potemkin village bullshit standard that you can take to the public and even court that you're doing what you can to prevent bad things to happen with what you're doing no one will care that you're sucking up stupid faggots with too much money.
Publishers just saw dollar signs and did not cover their ass, as a result they're getting fucked over. It IS their fault. You don't like it? what are you gonna do about it? cry victim-blaming at me like a feminist?
Because gambling is addictive, violence in video games is not.
Look, lootboxes need to go because if they are gameplay related its not fair and developers dont fully finish games
Mine.
Things in stores are purchased with stolen credit cards all the time though.
>lolbertarian thread
Yeah, fuck the nanny state for outlawing murder and child rape. Don't tell me what to do.
Yeah, it's much better to let industries tell you what you can and can't buy, you know, the guys who run analytics on you to figure out how to get the most money out of your pockets.
Or maybe explain why the boxes are shut
You know actually treat kids like humans and they to teach them. I'd your kid is literally too retarded to understand what you explain then yes ban them and stop clogging the servers with literal retards
My question, is why are you for lootboxes ? Why can't I just buy stuff, why does it have to be a fucking slot machine?
do you live in belgium? no? then shut the fuck up. no one cares about you LARPing. the united states has literally never had their freedom at risk since the war of 1812
>Every human on earth is 100% aware of everything that can fuck them over and how and is in a position to avoid it.
Nigger you need to go outside more, that is not true in the slightest.
>everyone in the world is fully educated about every thing that can harm them, has perfect buddhist-monk levels of self control and is in a position not to be fucked over by people with more money than them

Defeatist cuck logic.
Have budget.
What do you think?
>I know the lesser of two evils trust me
>But my side includes the people that can legally kill you or imprison you for life
Haha... yeah
Sure user, one of the biggest ideologies world wide DEFINITELY allows these types of violence.
How is a 10 year old getting to t he store without a parent noticing? Also no one would accept a credit card from a 10 year old since that's illegal.
but the industry doesn't tell me what i can and can't buy
(You)
No because that involves harming another person without their consent. Again lootboxes are not required and only impact the person purchasing the good.
>cut costs and find other ways to make money.
Sweetie, devs make shitloads of money as is. Taking away lootboxes just puts their insatiable greed in line. You damn well know they make record profits regardless of lootboxes existing.
Maybe they should cut costs on unnecessary crap like voice acting, voice acting, and marketing.
Not an argument.
True, but I think me and 99.99999% of people would are underage gambling is below the line.
At the end of the day we live in a democracy, not a great one, certainly not, but if more people wanted more freedom for parents to ruin their children's lives, they would have voted in that direction.
They do and you don't even realize it, you sweet summer child.
Nah fuck you man. Loot boxes are a dopamine high that you pay money for. You can't sell it you can't get rid of doubles you can't trade with friends. If it takes a couple mil to make a generic game with no love, then let the corporate machine pay for it.
Yeah. Why would I let an government elected by the people in order to serve the will of the people decide what's right instead of a corporation in which I have no say in and who's sole concern is monitary gain? Won't someone please think of the shareholders?!
>one of the biggest ideologies world wide
Oh my god, this guy is gone.
Oh so regulation starts where you deem it necessary. Well I for one thing killing and eating people shouldn't be regulated.
You're an obvious shill. Oh no! I've lost my right to swindle the mentally feeble! The government is evil!
Says the guy who would rather his entire family be fucked by money hungry corporate suits.
>Loot boxes are a dopamine high that you pay money for.
Wow, just like video games.
But I like buying them and getting cosmetics and goodies fuck you. It isn't required and doesn't give anyone an edge.
>t. mentally feeble retard wants protection from ebil glowing boxes
Hmmmm who should I trust?
>the guys who have the power to kill or imprison me or pretty much anyone else they want but haven't tried to do so
or
>the guys who have the power to rape wallets and have tried so time and time again
This is a REALLY hard decision, by the way.
This thread is proof that socialism is the only true answer.
>Enjoy your shit overpriced games, you communist retards.
The games were already "overpriced" because of lootbox bullshit. Locking a bunch of content (that used to be complimentary in games) behind paywalls and gambling is thievery.
They had better cut back on their 500 zillion dollar marketing budgets and actually put effort into the god damn games. Raising the base price of their garbage AAA games any higher than the $60 standard (plus another $30-60 "season pass" horseshit) will not go over well, especially when there are a fuckton of vastly superior games coming out that are being sold in the range of $10-30.
AAA garbage that got so wrapped up in lootbox faggotry has to compete with simple, well done games that are more than worth their cheaper prices. Without their psychologically manipulative "addictive" elements and whale-leeching money sinks, AAA games are FUCKED and nobody* is going to buy their shit.
*But muh millions of idiots. Of course, that's fucking hyperbole, there will always be a group of retarded nobodies that buy whatever gets shoved in their face through advertising. Those retards however are no longer going to be able to get whaled for billions to AAA companies.
Says the guys defended unregulated gambling when it's illegal.
yeah because the government are so great and cool like agent orange and mkultra oh can't forget bohemian grove now
No one supports or disagrees with laws because they care about the concept of laws themselves, lol. The things I don't think are immoral should be illegal, and the things I like to do should always be legal. This is the mindset of every adult person, and anyone who pretends they don't share it is just virtue signalling.
Not him, but child rape is extremely common in pisslam, the second largest ideology in the world.
What?
No retard, I want this shit banned so I can actually play a game that doesn't force me to wait 20 minutes to even play the retarded thing one more time. Go kill yourself you worthless trash.
Who should you trust
>The people who can kill you
>the people who can't
HMMMMMMMMMM, the absolute state of imperial niggers.
>and only impact the person purchasing the good.
Wait, are you really that naive and retarded?
A child stealing their parents credit card to fuel their gambling addiction doesn't affect anyone but the child?
Marketing =/= ban on goods.
Wish there were laws against banks existing.
Unregulated gambling is illegal you stupid nigger
Fuck off. Not everybody is an authoritarian sociopath like you. Normal people don't think like that.
Shareholders get fucked over too sometimes. The real enemy of markets are private equity firms, they're the parasites of the corporate world.
So do you trust nobody then? Because pretty much anyone could kill your weak ass I'm sure.
Moy comrade.
Yes they do, you fucking child. You have to be 18+ to post on this site.
You think governments don't kill enough people through wars and nation wide surveillance?
This. The publishers that pushed for these shitty practices brought it on themselves because they wanted an easier source of money instead of trying to deliver a quality product.
Where did I state something to the contrary, you child molester?
it should be treated like gambling, which it is. this bullshit about skirting the laws with loopholes and turning games to shit with them needs to die. i agree that more government control isn't a good thing, but clearly not having them intervene hasn't worked.
or, one way to solve the issue while not having the government have more control than necessary would be to legalize piracy. legalizing piracy would also stop giving the government so much control over what you can do. but letting people pirate all games and see that so many good games don't have lootboxes, and the ones that do are actually worse most of the time, will naturally make people hate them and learn to stop supporting games with them.
But what would the recipient of your killing think. You must be still learning about this in school, but you should be able to do whatever you want to yourself. But you need permission to act on others.
Oh did you give up already? Figures, enjoy the pakis raping your women.
>loot boxes are the only way to monetize videogames
Government in question here is the Belgium one. The American government does indeed do shady stuff, but at least they still hold more accountability than companies.
Who cares, I don't think it should be regulated. Look at you letting you emotions get in the way. Nothing should be regulated.
I never said it was a ban.
I said they tell you. Listening is your fault.
And apparently comprehension is hard for you to do unless it's groupthink.
>muh gambling addiction is muh constitutional right freedums
Yes let's regulate for the fringe case where a parent suddenly goes full retard and doesnt know that their cum sprout is habitually spending on gatcha bullshit.
Keyword here is regulated, not run. Shit is better when there's someone saying "fuck off, you're being fags" when there's incentive to be faggots without incentive to actually be decent.
Glad we agree.
I'm not sure where you got the impression that leftists want to get rid of regulations? Regulating lootboxes seems to appeal pretty broadly across the spectrum of politics.
Yes lets regulate corporations spending hundreds of billions of dollars creating addicting slot machines in kids games.
the belgium ban was ages ago so i thought this thread was going to mostly be about america my B
>You shouldn't want something good to happen because something bad might happen in the future
Can't we just stop it then instead of stopping it now?
This thread proves Yea Forums is a hive of manchildren who need another man to run their lives for them.
Legalize piracy? So you mean play any game you want for free and donate to devs if you feel like it? Welcome to not having any decent games ever again.
Unregulated gambling is illegal
Violent games are regulated by the ESRB/PEGI/CERO
t. edgy 12 y.o. fedora tipper
Well, without regulations we'd live in an anarchist hellhole/glorified monarchy so I'd rather take my chances.
You know there's a reason why all sorts of shitty, proditable products that damage your physical and mental health are marketed towards kids, right?
>if a stronger man says something is illegal, then I won't do it!
Based goyboy.
You can use this insult for both sides of the argument. Nice.
Works for Spain.
>nothing is right or wrong
Hey man, does the end of my gun taste funny?
You say that as if you are different.
>devs are eventually forced downgrade those realistic grafix due to budget (hell, they already do this shit with bullshots) and just give us twice the content they would've normally held back
There is literally nothing wrong with this outcome. If you think anyone's going to bend and buy any overpriced vidya, you're insane. Just look at the Neo Geo console. I can't wait for Sony and Microsoft to go back to being 3rd party like the good ol' days of SNES.
No, but the boots you've been licking? Probably.
Kek, that's because you have the rest of the world propping up the devs. Also duck Spain, dirty little shit smear, almost as bad as Greece.
The industry had its chance. We told them why is this shit, yet they ignored it. They had a choice to purge themselves, but they continued in their greed. If EA and similar companies don't want to fix their shit, then others will do it for them. I'm simply waiting when all this AAA shit gets burned to ashes.
So you have no argument?
>and our games get shittier and more expensive
And then people will stop buying them and developers will make more varied and cheaper games.
You know, the fact that you are a phoneposter really says a lot.
>>nothing is right or wrong
Nice argument retard. Don't know where you got that from.
Yea Forums is nothing but PC autists and Nintendo neckbeard manchildren. This thread is pure cancer. I dont even know why I come here anymore.
So you have no argument?
Defending lootboxes is absolutely underage as it gets, you are the kind of fuck that has grown up knowing nothing else.
Please stop playing games for the good of us all.
Because just like everyone else here you have nowhere else to go.
>belgium starts another world war
When will they learn?
That I have more important shit to do beside hover over my monitor like a greasy shadow, shunning the daylight, till mom slides my teddies through the crack in the door while sobbing at the hulking abomination of humanity she helped create? Yeah probably, or that I'm waiting for the bus.
I would rather just have the parents be the guardians instead of letting "daddy government" raise the kids.
Besides, the lootboxes could teach kids the risks of gambling and it may keep them from blowing too much at casinos, raffles, or lotteries.
>Typed on my Samsung Galaxy S10 TM
>industry refuses to self regulate
>somehow surprised when the government comes knocking
Literally nobody to blame but themselves. If they hadn't got so greedy this wouldn't have happened.
But that would require effort from the parents. I'd rather yell at the government for not knowing my kid was doing stupid shit, then to have to get odd my ass and parent.
The issue with gambling is that there's a chance you might not be using your money, you could be gambling stuff that isn't money, it could be covering a money laundering operation, etc.
That, and the government can't control where you spend your money because you don't have any you fucking child.
not him but do you really need an argument for wanting to be a free man and not controlled by some random fag in guvvyment
i dont buy games so idc
When Blizzard announced the celestial steed i thought to myself
"Surely nobody's stupid enough to pay half a game's worth for a 663 kB .jpg"
Boy was I wrong.
Can someone explain this to me. I see people shitting on phone posters all the time, is it the whole "normie" thing? Doesnt everyone have a smartphone and browse while their shitting or bored?
Based and goldpilled. Fuck those commie niggers ITT.
>the government needs to be able to tax my money at any time
Yikes. Fuck off communist retard.
Shit they're going to kill all the indie devs who are cramming their Minecrafts and Undertales with lootboxes!
But his "argument" was that something that's illegal sghould be legal, especially for children's games. So I don't really get the point of this whole thread. Are you claiming that making things illegal is the government trying to oppress you all the time?
>Enjoy your shit overpriced games
ah
you're not smart
please compensate these people for wasting their time
I see the problem being lobbyists. Speaks pretty loudly to the corruption in the government that lobbyists have not only not been banned but are somehow a full time well paying position
correct
Phoneposters are the reason why Yea Forums(((nel))) exists.
>There are people, right now, RIGHT IN THIS FUCKING THREAD, that are defending lootboxes/microtransactions
>MUH COMMUNISM
Kill yourselves you fucking faggots, lootboxes is what ruined vidya
Yes, the government is an oppressive and violent structure by nature and taxation is theft.
>why should publishers give a shit about you?
Why should we give a shit about publishers?
Particularly ones whose business model is based on whales and exploiting kids.
Get fucked. This is a losing battle here.
Posting from a phone isn't necessarily bad. Phoneposters are just more likely to be newfags and only make short, low quality shitposts, and also never contribute any actual OC to the site.
>calls people retard
>plays and cares about Overtranny
What a thread
refusing to pay taxes is theft
you have the freedom to leave
Yeah but the other side of the coin is why can't I blow your brains out if it's not illegal anymore?
Why is it bad if the government does thing that supposedly infringes on your freedoms but it's fine if a corporation does the exact same thing?
I didn't consent to this agreement. The government has to leave my lands.
Give me two examples. I'm curious
Non-aggression principle.
The country should protect your children from things parents don't understand or often can't control.
Parents didn't expect their kids to spend hundreds of dollars in a game on a chance to get better at said game. Gambles exploit human nature, and exploiting human nature works best on those with easily influenced minds, AKA children.
Your country also protects you via emergency services, makes sure you aren't getting screwed over by employers (and no, you working 12 hours at McDonald's doesn't count as getting screwed over, get a real fucking job), ensures that a guy can't just steal your shit and get away with it in addition to many other things.
hey man that's up to you if you wanna blow my brains out but i'd real ppreciate it if ya didn't
Like I said, you don't have any money. Because you don't contribute any skills or services to society so nobody gives you money.
>>Buy land from government.
>>Taxed for owning land.
>>Land goes back to government when. No longer able to pay taxes on land purchased.
Dafuq? So not only do you buy the land but you have to pay rent on your own property indefinitely?
>y-y-yes, you HAVE to pay taxes so the government can babysit everybody 24/7
Non-aggression principle only applies in a stable society. You just made society unstable by making everything legal.
If money was no longer part of the equation, would games become better or worse?
>Didnt realize it was the governments job to superceded the parents and enforce arbitrary rules that dont factor in anything about the kids mental faculties.
You clearly don't have children nor met some parents that are "raising" theirs.
>You retards realize that banning lootboxes is only the first step right?
Yes, which is why we have told the industry, and organizations like the ESA that this unrepentant greed needed to end. That if they continued on this course they would attract regulators. Once you attract regulators it's hard to get rid of them. They got rid of them once in the 90's with the ESRB, that's not going to work a second time, especially since the ESRB has now proven to be definitively unreliable and incapable of regulating the industry.
Welcome to the future.
Are you one of those retards who wants to go back to the wild west? When you could get shot, in your own home, and the best chance of anybody noticing would be somebody else breaking in to steal shit and finding your body?
Government is made of parents and people,. Somehow dont trust parent with responsibility but trust govenrment?
Freedom of speech being infringed by corporations.
I'm certain he's just baiting for you's.
>one person makes society unstable or everything legal
Hmm, sounds like something a government can do.
>some
I have 3 kids. I just dont live in the ghetto like some poor 3rd worlder.
Curious, how many people in this thread are larping and how many genuinely believe what they say.
Yeah, if you live in a fucking shithole dictatorship.
Freedom of association trumps all freedoms.
Probably, at least in the sense that I should be voting on services I want to be taxed on. Why should I pay taxes that go toward welfare when i dont think its right?
>the freedom to not be swindled by jews

and then, for no reason at all, the people voted hitler into power.
>trusting an institution that has a track record in breaking the non-aggression principle
Wow, nice stable society where I can literally be jailed for saying the wrong words.
Gonna go with 80% trolls, 10% contrarians, and 10% retarded ideologists.
>meaningless virtue signalling as a response to a post predicting meaningless virtue signalling
oh user
You can't trust parents to be responsible with new concepts coming out of the woodwork that their kids will understand far quicker.
My grandmother still doesn't know how to use her printer, what Ethernet is, she can't tell the difference between HD and SD.
As you grow older, your brain will become less adept at recognizing alien concept, kids who grow up with it will have a far easier time adjusting and learn quicker than you.
There is also the expectation that kids will mature, you're literally asking for parents to baby their kids 24/7 which is the issue with GenY and if my whore of a cousin is any indication, GenZ.
That, and the your parents normally can't be expected to protect you from armed burglars unless they are well adept at utilizing firearms or have a martial arts background. This is why police exist, their responsibility being to protect their city's citizens, a responsibility given to them from the government.
Retard
Tell me user, how do you uphold the non aggression principle in anarchy?
Took a long time before someone brought Hitler in. Kind of disappointed it took this long.
Fuck off edgy retard.
>calling someone a sociopath for thinking immoral actions should be prevented instead of le epic anarchy
what did he mean by this?

>calls others edgy
>can't post without insulting people
Really makes you think.
You do realize you can vote for candidates that wish to roll back on welfare benefits, this is your right as a citizen of your country.
Welfare parasites are bad, yes, but that has nothing to do with the point I made, that the Government provides essential services such as Emergency Services to enforce the law. You're shifting goalposts.
You just want to evade taxes you fucking parasite.
You're really putting the "lol" in lolbertarian
Funny thing is government is almost completely comprised of 50 plus year old people. Your post claims older people have a harder time grasping new tech, but people are advocating government oversight knowing that government on the whole is full of aged nontechnical people.
We start by not letting the government practice its violence anymore. Then people can have the freedom of association to work together and defend themselves.
I am actually curious about it. If anarcho capatlism is all about contracts and agreements, what is there to actually enforce them in anyway?
>See sugar daddy, I posted the thread just like you wanted! Will you reward me with cummies in my fuckboi butt? You will? Oh thank you sugar daddy!
How is banning loot boxes a shit thing you fucking moron? Is the general consensus not "loot boxes are bad"? How much is EA paying you? I could do a better job of shilling than you and for free.
The reason why it's normally older people in government is because they've had years to learn how to compose themsleves in public. The younger people commonly don't know how to compose themselves (Sargon in UKIP) and are far more idealistic (Justin Trudeau).
Or the younger people waste their votes on a joke (don't forget the Harambe votes in the 2016 elections)
>I just dont live in the ghetto like some poor 3rd worlder.
And? Lowest immunization rates in USA schools are amongst the most expensive schools and the biggest measles outbreak in over a decade is occuring. Third worlders (both in their home countrys and in the states) having higher vacination rates than the rich - the smart thing to do. Point stands.
So the only way for the non aggression principle to work in anarchy is with a well-regulated militia?
In the last Australian election the difference in votes between the two major parties was less than the amount of people that drew dicks on the ballet.
All contracts flow from the NAP. Breaking a contract is unjustified and should be dealt with accordingly by private courts.
No my point is that some taxes are appropriate such as emergency services. However I as an individual citizen cannot pay for what I believe are good vs bad taxes. I'm at the mercy of my elected representative, who is under no obligation once elected to change any tax laws. My complaint is that taxes for nonessential services should be abolished, or at least be on a voluntary basis.
Surprise, retard, you just so happen to be the type of person who forced government to do this shit. The last thing any one working in the public sector wants to do is to have to think about how to stop you chuds from drowning your own drool.
>muh freedom to be irresponsible with money
Your grotesque spending habits affect the people around you, that is inarguable fact. You are the reason why these laws come to exist.
>he bases his opinions on general consensus
Literally NPC programming kek
And how do you enforce a private court?
That's why you're allowed to join a party and promote what you want to see change.
without children Yea Forums would have like 3 posters.
>devs will have to cut costs to make money
Spoken like a true corporate shill, devs make the same amount of money whether you buy the lootboxes or not. Its the greedy fucking publishers who put these measures in to bait in whales with gambling addictions
With free markets and freedom for the customer to choose the one with the best track record.
Now show the stats for kids being molested and beaten. Karen might not vaccinate, but Jemal is the violent baby beater.
>has to have contrarian opinions to feel unique
One (1) lole has been deposited on your account
It's a good thing. Probably gonna incentivize game devs to actually make completed games instead of having a bunch of shit behind a paywall.
>Only NPC's believe shit isn't pleasant to eat.
That's not enforcing it, that's selecting it.
>everything I dont like is communism
dumb cunt
Nah, they're gonna double down and make even more dlc, you just won't see lootboxes.
But again, I elect an official ,who once in office is not required to follow their word. Case in point, trump and the wall. The only way to be sure that tax laws change is to either become elected myself, or to open tax to general voting.
>food analogy
Good job goy, let the grown ups do the thinking for you.
>being this cucked by corporations
This. Devs are fucking salaries employees, they make their standard 60k or whatever per year regardless of sales. Publishers are the ones who want to squeeze every pence out of a market.
That was true 50 years ago. Big companies now collaborate and work together to fuck over the customer.
>find other ways to make money
Like making a good game?
>game industryhas 20+ years to self-regulate, telling the government "don't worry we won't get any worse :)))"

>B-BUT COMMUNISM! LE SLIPPERY SLOPE
Cry me a river, dickface.
If a private court is unfair, the one who's being judged should hire a better one to dispute the case.
The Asian world was pushing microtransaction shit via gachapon and limited access items long before Valve threw their dicks into the whirlpool, user.
Asians are always the first when it comes to ruining vidya and always have been.
>DA GUBMENT BAD CORPORATIONS GOOD
if you hate your country so much then fucking leave
That's not an analogy.
True. That just means the government is going to need to regulate parents' parenting to a degree (which is my point) and no one gets off the hook.
That still doesn't answer the enforcement, just the selection.
They got that way through government regulation and lobbying.
>Only NPC's believe getting stabbed is painful.
PSA: arguing with anarchist is the same as arguing with nihilists. It's a waste of time and only leads to frustrations. They are not thinking, self-aware people.
This concludes your threadly, political PSA.
Libertarians are a fucking joke.
Do you work for Polygon?
But what If the market was cool with loot boxes, which evidently it is since sales are so high? Who's crying for the regulation?
>muh freedom to get fleeced by AAA kikery
Fuck you, fuck your annualized casual shit and fuck your slippery slope.

Only corporate shills are upset. I don't care if lootbox ban kills some shitty games.
This is your brain on /pol/
>EA tries to put Darth Vader in a loot box
>This happens
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN PLEAAASE
That's a zoomer on /anarchy/
Games had done just fine for 30 years without rellying on lootboxes, this will not make them more expensive. If it does then it is just companies being absurdly greedy and they deserve no respect and you shouldn't buy from them.
>t. Spoiled Zoomer born with Silver Spoon in mouth
The Star Cards shit was the main thing that pissed people off, the Darth Vader thing is just what pissed off the fanbase.

Anarchists think roads they don't have to pay to use everytime are rape.
>They tell you what you can't buy
>lol I never said that
>retarded, arbitrary, nigger-rigged rules
None of those apply. I don't want developers to abuse gambling to make money. I want them to make good games and make profit from those games.
This shit gets in the way of single player as well like with Shadow of War and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
valve did it, but they kinda did it in a way that went under the radar. It was pure cosmetics, trading allowed, and you don't need to spend a dime.
The problem you are ignoring is people like EA and such want no trading, no way to get it for free, micro transactions with your bank account only. You can try to blame others, but Korean P2W money raking has influenced doing things the shittier way.
People who don't like being viewed as livestock by the market.

They think blocking traffic will make black people stop robbing liquor stores.

Nice argument, totally worth giving away my freedoms for.
Protestors like to block traffic because they think people will listen to them if they do.
very based
Roads bad, private roads good!
Ban western games.
Shit roads I don't use but still have to pay for GOOD
Your freedom to do what, waste money until you get that one P2W item or skin that's been censored anyway?
Fun Facts: violence in video games is already regulated and displayed on the ratings info of any game, loot boxes are not. Also, violent video games have been shown to ALLEVIATE violent tendencies in people that play them, NOT increase or encourage them.
Just use toll roads then.

Yeah no. EA nearly died when they had to reevaluated their mtx

Even if this were true I can guarantee that it's only because they forgot how to work around limitations due to swimming in whale cash for so long.
>but retards will fight to defend it
Mostly people who have already bought them and probably aren't ready to admit they were taken advantage of. It's kind of sad.
here's your (((you))) you asian turbokike, try not to hoard them
>I can guarantee that it's only because they forgot how to work around limitations due to swimming in whale cash for so long.
Half or more of all of EA's profits were MTX
American ban will only affect selling games to minors. Do we know how it will be enforced?
maybe if ea actually made good games instead of churning out garbage, they wouldn't need lootboxes and mtx to prop them up.
None of the games I've enjoyed in the past year have had it, and they've all been great without it and none were overpriced. At most, one or two had some small extra DLC you could buy for $2 (usually 3DS games without a lot of it anyway).
I won't miss them because they never plagued me anyway. Enjoy whining about shitboxes I guess.
There are already games that want premium, gambling/paying to win, cosmetics (also in gambling) and pay for extra content.
As soon as you give corporate any leeway they'll try to wring you dry and that's why we have fucking regulations on things and not just live in some fucking ancap apocalypse
Yes, and half of their profits are probably being wasted on unnecessary shit.

>reply to this post with a "fuck loot boxes" if you don't
The devs need to learn to make better games so they DON'T NEED lootboxes.
Japanese devs are doing well without lootboxes. Western devs NEED to learn from them.

I don't honestly think the industry could be any worse than it has been the last 5 years in America. have fun with the legislation.
fuck you
gambling in videogames using real dosh is essentially the same as gambling in real life.
shooting children in grezzo has no consequences
maybe you shouldn't have been a retarded nigger who puts loot boxes in games then
my blackest nigga
let it burn
I'm opposed to increased federal regulations in the gaming industry, but this is a poor argument and this post explains why.The real reason to oppose this is because the regulators will not stop with lootboxes
How about the silent majority whose votes and voices are being silenced by the whales?
Especially commiefornia
Earthquake when?
>slavery is perfectly fine unless it happens to me.
Entitled mentality. Neck your self, snowflake.

Not just me, all the better peoples of the earth, whites, persians, northeastern asians, secular arabs(muzzies get the bullet ofc), native americans provided they stay away from the firewater, etc. The negroids, mystery meats and the chinksects are really only fit to be slaves honestly.
...
Years a go I was loltardian that would had been 100% against this but seeing that the masses are so dumb that they'll accept anything and everything makes me want this. The only bad thing I see is that they have to frame it as 'protecting children' but you know what? That shit is what makes laws happen. I don't fucking care about children either but making this bill about them is how we get our foot in the door.
NO ONE likes lootboxes or microtransations. Every single game that has them would had been better without them because they are ALWAYS amde to be grindy and unfair so they can sell you this shit.
>no one is forcing you
Wow! Why didn't of that? I'm going to tell all my friends who are suffering from addiction, no one is forcing them!

Loot boxes are bad and you should feel bad for wanting them to stay.
>bitter we're allowed to have freedoms AND high qualities of life

>mtx, season passes, dlc
Good riddance
>pandering to normies
And how would one propose such a bill?
The laws do specifically target children though.
You can't make a game targeted at minors, have gambling in it.
If you want to make an adult's game, it's completely fine.
Saying it in a sarcastic fashion does not make it less of an issue

>And how would one propose such a bill?
Frankly, I have no idea. But that is my utopian vision of low effort, bottom-feeder pandering trash getting uprooted.
good riddance to every single one of those. Maybe they should start releasing full fucking games again instead of chopping it up and selling it at a premium. expansion packs only just -barely- make the cut in my eyes, and if they were removed as well in the end I would not be sorry to see them go either, I would rather the dev just make a full, complete game then work on their next full, complete game, maybe a sequel to the previous instead of an xpac or maybe a new IP, I don't give a fuck. get over it fag, this shit ran it's course, now it's past time for it to fucking go.
Why would you want to? Do you actually like them them? They are an objective bad. Every game that has them if they were to be remade without them in mind, would objectively be better.
