I always hear this from people who have no fucking clue what they are talking about and have nothing to fall back on.

You idiot, the people who are anti-net neutrality are pro-corporation and would probably be upset at lootboxes getting banned. This makes no sense and is just you making shit up to suit your head canon narratives.

You'd be wrong

They should be legislated under standard gambling laws. Making a case specifically for vidya is a little concerning.

Being a parent means they have much bigger shit to fry than some videogame corporation who's exploiting children with psychological tricks.

Imagine being this mad because smart people are making money

This is the dumbest post in this already shitty thread.

Why would you be anti-net neutrality and then pro-lootbox regulation? I'm not saying it can't happen, I'm just saying that user literally just invented a story in his mind to get upset over and then posted it in greentext.

That should be dealt with as well. There should be barriers put in place to prevent anyone having unfettered access any money that is not their own.

I don't understand why the government even exists, it's fucking useless. People are more than capable of protecting themselves and providing for themselves. Why aren't people burning down DC and hanging the president yet?

Kids already just use mommy's credit card to buy loot boxes, nothing will change.

There are Americans who actually want that.
Usually boomers who don't work anymore.

The state is nothing but an arbitrary force. It might as well be used to destroy the things I hate.

Because some people aren't communist animals

>Please nanny game devs, don't let the meanie politicians take away muh precious lootboxes that contain stuff that would have been free years earlier!

State intervention is the only way to control Judaism.

Only neo Yea Forums would be against it. Fuck off retard, loot boxes are only bad for games and the WORST companies make bank off of it like EA. God I hope this shit throttles them so they have to invest in good games again.

Imagine being this mad because I blew up your shitty reddit meme that was itself a deflection from me blowing up the asinine claim that every single person on Earth who isn't exactly like you is a communist.

>Why would you be anti-net neutrality and then pro-lootbox regulation?
Because /pol/ said net neutrality is bad, but they also don't want to pay for lootboxes.
You're seriously overestimating the critical thinking skills of the average Yea Forumstard.

>being a parent means being literally anything but a parent
Did your parents drink pre and post your birth?

Because we like not having to pay a toll everytime we turn a corner while driving.

Companies who put them in games marketed to kids (and yes it includes M rated games aimed at the little shits like CoD) can't put them in anymore. If they do, fines and raids.

the government is terrible at everything

In the area of gaming going almost entirely digital now, companies like Google could potentially ban you and you would no longer have access to all the games you've purchased. This is a huge issue. Loot boxes are not a huge issue, because nobody is forcing you to buy them. And if a game is pay2win then you can just not buy the game. If you can't see the difference between having something you've purchased being taken away and not purchasing something because it has loot boxes then you are a brainlet.

tl;dr, you leftoids sure love words

>are only bad for games and the WORST companies make bank off of it
Same goes for net neutrality repeal, it only hurt the consumers and helped big ISPs. You guys supported that shit though

I guess I am, you have a point there.

Lootboxes incentivize bad game design. Just look at Shadow of War before and after the monetization was dropped. Forget any questions of morality, ban lootboxes just to keep companies from making shit tier grindfests in the hopes you'll loosen your wallet just to not have to deal with a bunch of bullshit designed to do nothing but test your patience.

Nobody is forcing you to buy games that can ban you either. If you're afraid of losing access to games you've bought you can just not buy the games. Fuck off brainlet.

>Because we like not having to pay a toll everytime we turn a corner while driving.
But I guess you like getting buttfucked by the gubermint, and who's talking about paying anyone while driving? You can kill anyone who wants to hustle you, that is true freedom, not this fucking nanny state hand holding bullshit.

No, I never said that. Not everyone is a low information hard liner that feels the need to fight for a "team."

The state, in our capitalist system, is pretty much a company except with an army. Its employees are paid ludicrous amounts and all they have to do is pretend to be doing things. So that's what they do. They vote laws because they have to be voting laws or there's no reason to pay them anymore.

Do you honestly believe things would be better if anarchy reigned free?
You are delusional.

If you cannot stop your child from gambling, that child is worthless and you should not have become a parent. Personal responsibility is important, no matter how much you want to just let the gubmint baby your child.

On one hand loot boxes are cancer, on the other hand breeders are retards and deserve to get fucked

It's the same kind of person who defends lootboxes. They really want their boss to have anything and everything they want while they get nothing and pretty much do it for free.

the difference is that with a TCG what you get is a physical object with real world value.
While that value is created by the community you own a tangible object and can trade for other cards or real world currency. So if you decide you don't want to play anymore you can sell it online or at your LGS to make back part of your money spent. And people generally buy singles.

The problem is that in a video game is that what you earn is not physical and it's value is determined purely by the developers not the players, they can decide whatever price they want. While you could argue free market, it's plain that people nowadays will bend over backwards to justify any purchase they make and slavishly defend a corporation even if what they currently get doesn't benefit them.
And if that game you've dumped hundreds of dollars shuts down what happens to all your cosmetics? Gone, you can't get back any of the money you've spent it's now in the pockets of the company.

ITT faggots seething at the mere thought of the cosmetics that they paid for being free when they could've easily just been unlocked through completing challenges or playtime

Let's see you skirt away from this one without looking retarded, I'll wait

There's nothing wrong with communities, but there is everything wrong with the government, once the community gets too big, it becomes harder for every member to have their voice heard, which is why communities need to be small and fragmented to prevent any rise of government in any form.

Again, personal responsibility. If they fuck up, it's their and their parents' fault. Child gambling could be legal and it would only exist because of weak people and parenting. I see no reason not to let people destroy themselves, if they want to.

That's what he said

Right, like in the Congo or Somalia.

Parental responsibility doesn't exist in the states. If a kid steals your gun and kills someone with it very rarely are parents charged or even more rarely convicted of anything.

So we should legalize child gambling?

Whenever there's a money transaction involved, there is traceability and enforcible measures, especially when all the transactions are done digitally.
Stop cocksucking corporations, cuck.

>Le ironic racism meme
Imagine being this much of a coward to own up to your principles, no wonder anti-lootbox shills are such retards

Hi

There are. You can put passwords on your kids' phone so they need to input one every time they make a purchase.

This isn't some hard to find feature either, it's the default setting whenever you first put a credit card on your account.

If a kid is buying excessive amounts of IAPs, the parent has already fucked up about ten different ways, or the kid is crafty enough to get ahold of all the information he needs which is an entirely different problem between the parents and kid.

This is just yet another one of those WE NEED TO STOP KIDS FROM DOING ____ cases that is already easily solvable, and won't even be solved by legislation because the problem is fundamentally one of parental negligence, like trying to stop toys from being marketed on TV, trying to stop kids from playing violent games, trying to stop kids from seeing violent shows on TV, etc.

CORPORATIONS GOOD

It's not a problem you can fix unfortunately. Next beat thing is to age restrict microtransactions.

Current stateless nations suffer because governments all across the world are shaking in their bootd in fear that their citizens, or may as well call them nationan slaves, would wake up and work together to abolish their government and enter a better era. They work, but the global elite makes it near impossible for them to function, for propaganda purposes.

No one on this board ever sincerely said Net Neutrality is bad, you fucking moron

Surely if trading cards give you the opportunity to win a physical object of real, tradable value, it is far closer to gambling than lootboxes. Lootboxes aren't gambling because there is no Illusive potential big money payout (except csgo crates).

you severely underestimate just how stupid american parents are

It's not about protecting us it's about forcing publishers and devs to make games that make money because they are good not because they exploit a psychological deficiency.

It will apply to them if they were ever to be sold in the US, which would likely see them get banned.

Make no mistake, this is just another angle people are using to destroy video games, demanding the market cater exclusively to their tastes, akin to anita sarkeesian and her ilk.

After all how far do you take the lootbox ban? It seems very arbitrary to target just a small section of ingame transactions for a loot roll and ignore the much larger purchase for a game entirely based around RNG looting mechanics like most RPGs. After all the only real difference is how much pomp and ceremony exists

>>made their games free to play when they added lootboxes

In what way does it benefit gaming exactly?
US isn't the largest market. THese games will still be made, just won't be released in the US. If anything it hurts the gaming in your country much like the lack of an R18 classification here in Australia did.

Yeah dude. When the government falls you can totally defend yourself. I'm sure you'll just shoot the fifty guys who roll up with AKs and say they own your town/neighborhood when the government falls. Maybe you should move to Somalia and see what it's like when there's no government.

When I would open packs of Pokemon cards I got something tangible that increased in value based on availability and old Pokemon cards have definitely increased in value. Even lowly energy cards and shit like Diglette sell for a dollar a card these days, but more importantly every pack had a card with a star insignia which represented it as rare. With a loot box you could get a neato skin, but 90% of the time you literally get like a player icon or some stupid shit you can't even use in the game.

Some of them are gambling addicts themselves and are mad that people are making fun of them for spending $1000+ on virtual items.

A coworker of mine plays games a lot and keeps up with articles like this, so he strikes up conversation with me about these hot topics once in a while. When we brought up this matter we both agreed on the point that it's pretty unfortunate that the industry has gotten so absurdly greedy that government intervention is necessary to get things back under control.

This is all good and well, but I pointed out to him that a great deal of the fault obviously lies with the consumers for being stupid enough to pay so much fucking money for things like this. I said, "If they don't like it, then they shouldn't buy it." His response was:

The solution here is to allow toddlers to buy guns. It's the parents responsibility after all and there is 0 way for a child to buy a gun when it's legal to do so.

You wanna know why a kid can't buy a gun, animeposter-kun? It has a lot to do with there being laws against children from doing so.

Also if kids never spent more than $.99 on microtransactions F2P companies would go bankrupt overnight.

Except there is nothing "abusive" about Lootboxes. People love to run with the "won't someone please think of the children" argument but by design children already have a limited access to moeny. The only way they can be "exploited" is if the parents are stupid enough to hand over access to their money to someone who by law is deemed irresponsible to handle it.

The only other "abusive" angle is that there are some adults who do spend obscene amounts of money on them. But at what point do you get to dictate how other people spend their own money? I guarantee you spend plenty of money on things that I would deem unessesary and vice versa, should we ban those things as well?

That is literally you right now. Your newfag filenames only prove that you're a cancerous zoomer faggot.

No one actually cares about projecting kids except the boomers conveniently passing the bill. Yea Forums in general cares about not rewarding shitty developers

If it doesn't effect me that's even more reason to push for the regulation. I don't buy lootboxes so this is a win-win for me since it reduces the chances of lootboxes showing up in games I otherwise wouldn't be able to play.

Bad faith argument that relies not only on someone paying a child to suck a dick but a parent being so oblivious they didn't notice their kid bring a fucking gun in the house.

You have to keep in mind that though we try to rise up and be civilized, but much of our brain still reacts primitively. This is especially true for children which is why they can be serious assholes.

Multi billion dollar companies know this. They research how to best get you addicted and paying them constantly. This works especially well on children. They could have been happy with the record profits they make from being cheap fucks when it comes to paying employees and selling games wholesale but instead are looking more and more for ways to screw you harder and harder to make as much money as they can from you.

Even 100,000 people not buying their stuff in protest won't affect a multi billion dollar companies' bottom line enough to change their ways.

Government intervention in these situations becomes necessary and is in fact why the government exists. It is also a window into what would happen if we had no government and allowed individuals and organizations to act with impunity.

Nice false flag

if you take 2 seconds to add parental controls to the play store/apple store they won't be able to use any cards without knowing the password, even if they bought the card themselves.

Not what anyone is saying retard, we're trying to force other people to curb their own addiction. "b-buh they neeeeed to be allowed to be addicted! muh freeedumb!!!!!" fuck off. The best part is lootboxes are mostly fueled by peer pressure and lootbox exclusive items, so even the 12 year olds spending $5000 of their mommies credit card won't have a problem with it.
