>waah waah why won't the bureaucrats make up laws
Britain is proper country with responsible government. Unelected executive commissions, like the Gambling Commission, don't make policy and don't make laws. If you want laws against Loot Boxes then Parliament, the elected legislature, needs to pass a new law, as a proper country with proper representative government ought to do.

Law is the responsibility of the legislature, execution of laws is the responsibility of executive government and their bodies. Learn the difference and don't be a brainless low-agency minion to paternal bureaucrats.

>lootboxes do not meet the definition of gambling due to the items inside them having no real value.
But since people are paying money to acquire those lootboxes, doesn't it mean that the items inside have value ?

Of course they did. There's too much profit involved here to protect the consumer.

They only said it didn't count because you can't take your money out of the system. They acknowledged 3rd party resellers but also argued that EA was doing enough to clamp down on the second-hand grey market that further intervention wasn't needed.

How this applies to Valve however is anyone's guess, as you can extra the value of your items through selling on the Steam store. But you can't then take your Steam currency out of the store (at least not officially, you could always order some Steam controllers or something and sell them)

>now videogames are dead for me
and that's a good thing

Nevermind I found my answer.

It's okay this just draws attention to the fact that laws and definitions need to be updated to fit with modern times.
They still agree that these things are a serious issue even if not legally considered gambling as they target children and if it's one thing britain will do, it's restrict freedoms for the sake of children, you can count on that.
I foresee games with these types of mechanics being slapped with 16 or even 18 ratings which isn't an outright ban but will be a big blow to these companies as they love putting these in "family friendly" titles.
It'll also taint their image as something okay and good in general.
I'm not even sure I agree with an outright banning, as people should practice some personal responsibility but that doesn't fucking matter when they target children and family friendly spaces.
I'm sure these things will become a black mark on any game or company that continues to try and use them so they'll either want to stop using them or will see reduced sales anyway.

We are a nation of LAWS. If you want yo change the law, pass an act of parliament. You can not make up laws or misinterpret them however you like based on whims. Loot boxes are not covered under the current act for the reasons the Gambling Commission gave. If you want new laws pass them through parliament the proper way. Law > whims and arbitrary rule.

I mean, if you go this way games have no value either because "lmao 1s and 0s"

You people are so short sighted. The longer this cancer longers in video games the worst its gonna get for the industry and lead us to another video game crash because people are gonna get sick of this shit one way or another. And thats assuming we arent already due for another crash.

If they became a problem to the extent lootboxes are, then yeah they should be regulated too. But they aren't and you're a big gay.

USA will ban them though. The people pushing for the bans there are going with a very think of the children angle which is always effective.

>Worthless paper artificially with an inflated monetary value based on how powerful it is within the pretend make-believe rules of the children's game is totally okay because it's worthless paper aimed at children instead of worthless pixels aimed at adults.

The stories of "kid stole mommy's credit card and spent $XXXX on bullshit" has been slow news day fodder for decades you dumb cunt.

So if all that actually happened was the gambling folks said they couldn't do anything until the laws were changed why did op make this thread trying to seem like it was the government outright showing support for lootboxs.

The Majority of these purchases are from fucking kids who shouldnt have that kind of money.

People actually Defended Custers revenge back when it released, and E.T, and the countless amounts of shovelware that caused the industry crash.

Why does nu-Yea Forums now defend lootboxes and microtransaction? We used to laugh at libertarians back when Ron Paul was "relevant".

Until magic introduced mythic rarity you got the same rarity cards in every pack in every card game.
Wizards are probably gonna agree to get rid of mythic rarity as a sort of plea deal to dodge the lootbox ban

Yea, that's how I've operated for the last like nine years and stupid fucks have kept buying and buying and now here we are - where buying a thousand dollar phone gets you a Fortnite skin. Fun has been monetized in a unique way - games are now no longer about an experience or actual fun, they are about "Look at my rare skin" and "What's in it for me to do X in a game".

Virtually nobody plays games for fun anymore, they all play for ingame rewards. There was a time when people read quests.

Yea Forums has grown past the childish notion of just shouting down lootboxes because waaah waaah mama won't buy them. They now see the inherent value in putting more money into the system and thereby ensuring the game would continue to grow as a result. Childhood is raging against lootboxes, adulthood is smiling, shaking your head and just buying a couple because you love the company and the licence they provided you with.

As we all know the government never grows like a cancer or takes miles when granted millimeters

Stock up on older games now. I'm sure there's a few hundred older games you would enjoy playing that you haven't yet.

No. Fining corporations just for being successful is a hallmark of capitalism's failings.

And the social stigma for a kid who plays with the default skin being made fun of and put down for it. It's psychological bullying to spend money. Bullshit.

He's literally just British Trump

Well isn't this a good thing that the UK isn't part of the EU anymore so they have no say in the matter of speaking of lootbox ban.

Which means in short them saying (oi we defend EA) isn't gonna stop the rest of the new world order from putting a ban on the lootbox anyway because they look at UK and laugh at them.

>UK
more like Utterly fucKed hahaha enjoy living in 1984.

Why would you not defend EA though? Do you honestly think the government is a better entity than Electronic ARTS?

Except the EA in USA just tried to bribe and buy out the lobby that usually give government the money to influence on things and the lobby literally told EA to basically (go fuck yourself) and they went and supported the government without the government's intervention. EA is fucked in USA in terms of trying to get them to stop from pushing the bill through federal court.

It's sad that so many people can't see this. I thought it was obvious why people hate DLC and lootboxes, but it seems that such concepts as not liking shitty mechanics because they take away from the game is too advanced for many people to comprehend.

the uk only said that lootboxes are not gambling according to gambling definition. they did not say that they would nothing about it OP.
theres several ways this will continue.

Do they even fucking celebrate Halloween in the UK or is this just the nanny state trying to combat a problem that doesn't even exist yet.

Loot boxes shouldn't be banned, but they should be restricted. Transparency should be an absolute must. Reveal the chances and odds for your "surprise mechanic" results.
And enforce proper age gating. Just do it. Force developers to develop pipelines that allow for this to be done properly.

Done.

I wish the UK Government was pro freedom when it came to the citizens of the country.

>enforce proper age gating
I'm anti lootbox but you can fuck right off with this bullshit, it's an actual slippery slope giving the government such easy access to restriction of children.

We vote for parties, not Prime Ministers. The party itself does that.

>Wales are turning away from Brexit too

But there are greedy people from the other races as well, Jews are just the best at hiding it. Which ironicly makes them stand out more in places where people can see through it.

If children aren't allowed to have their own bank accounts, they should not be allowed to purchase in game stuff without said purchase being properly authorized by someone who is.

If they want to destroy themselves, why bother to stop them from doing so? It' their choice. Personal responsibility shouldn't be a meme.

That's complete bullshit, rate aren't audited in Japan outside actual gambling (i.e. pachinko). Gacha (for toys), TCGs, mobile gacha games do display rates but these aren't audited by a governmental body or an independent agencies, so rate are just statements and nothing prevent a publisher from lying. When exposed just claim it was "a programming mistake". Rates can easily be manipulated for digital gacha as for TCG, it's well known that chances aren't full-RNG, but pseudo-RNG as the most expensive cards are evenly distributed across prefectures.

it's literally the opposite of that you braindead slime
are you really asking for the state to control provided services from companies?

We mostly dont give a fuck about it. The only places that care about it are those with lots of children in the area or posh areas. And even the posh areas (west london is my example here where ive been living in for years) only a small fraction of streets do it. Also the teenagers/young adults do it but its less for halloween and more just an excuse to drink and go out.

The ones who do tp and egg through are normaly the cunts which should be kept an eye on. We really dont tolerate those here. Its not about being free to be a cunt. Its about others not having to worry about troglodytes.

for real, you should stop bitching about da muh gommies11!!1!!

Not him but letting the free market decide ALL things is a terrible idea and it created the great depression because banks ended up having more control over the country than the government did.

Letting them decide MOST things to prevent the country from imploding is the best decision. It's not a slippery slope to limit sales to children, 1 out of 100 products being controlled is not government control, it's attempted regulation to prevent the bottom line from being exploited.

>first, you arent defending capitalism because you think it's the better qualitatively, you simply think the status quo benefits you. The "commies" think it doesnt benefit them
I defend capitalism because it is the best economic system period.

Marxism does not work.

Communism does not work.

Socialism does not work.

Capitalism works.

Nothing is stable in this world, things come and things go. Things blow up and things cool down, it's nature.

Capitalism makes sure on the whole over a long period of time humanity and society goes forward and upward.

The crisis 07-08 was due to government interference in the housing market. Everywhere the government goes, things become much worse.

All government regulation is bad. It's disgusting that I can't blow up a city hall because "murder is against the law". What kind of commie bullshit is that?! I thought america was a free country?!

TCG are legally required to print the number of cards and the value (rarity) of them on the box or blister. The only random chance involved is in the ones you get, but you're always guaranteed something of each value. They're also physical and exist outside of a video game, so you can do exactly what it says on the packaging, you know, trade them. Or sell them.

Why do people always use this fallacious argument when it's been explained time and time again that the problem are the whales ruining it for everyone else, since they only incentivize shitting up games with more microtransactions in place of actual content and unlockables?

Yes it's different. I am extremely socialist when it comes to my family and friends. I am not socialist when it comes to my city or my country. The difference is that I am willingly spending my money, time and energy on what I want, there is no one forcing me to buy insurance just like there is no one who is forcing me to buy loot boxes and I want neither to be regulated. Regulations drives up prices, kills competition and makes the matter worse for everyone involved.

>there is no one forcing me to buy insurance
Except you literally go to jail if you don't have insurance for your house, or car.

The time of actual content and unlockables is gone. Get over it. Banning lootboxes isn't going to close Pandora's box.

You don't actually know what any of those terms mean.

Capitalism is the "best" economic system when there is oversight to keep people from fucking each other over. Pure free market capitalism has never ended well and repeating "Socialism does not work Capitalism works" like a mantra just outs you as an uneducated mutt who hasn't read an econ book.

Why do people always use this fallacious argument when it's been explained time and time again that the problem is playing shit games.

"hurr durr you are economically illiterate" What is this even supposed to mean? Socialism does not work. Capitalism works. As per economics.

The free market isn't free and, even if it was, there would still be enough idiots supporting shoddy business practices to keep those practices going. That being said, the fact that idiots in this thread still spout "muh free Margret" in relation to loot boxes is absurd. The industry is up to its ears in regulations of its own making in this day and age. And it's about time we introduce regulations that benefit the consumer rather than the corporation.

This is a paradoxical argument.

>only bad games have x so you can't say it's bad
>if a game has x that makes it a bad game

Ideally you would want less of x so there's less incentive to incorporate x and therefore more good games that would otherwise be bad.

Also the fallacy that the government is fully incompetent and entirely malicious in its activity while they have no problem with things like the FDA evaluating what they can consume.

POPULAR OPINION BAD

GAMERS RISE UP *opens a box of surprise mechanics sponsored by ea*

Who cares? The same rules apply, government regulation = bad

>Therefore lootboxes are bad and should be deterred if not banned
>Therefore the government must be given more power over our personal choices
stealthy commie

>It's just a video game
Where do you think you are
Movies are not comparable to video games.

no.

Thread has far more statist boomer lovers who want 80 year olds who have not even heard of Mario to vote on what kind of game they should play based on what their lobbyists say.

I benefit from globalist capitalism so good

This but for pay to win. If you can't afford microtransactions drop the game and stop moaning about being poor

>government regulation = bad
Ah, yes, the infallible corporations know best!

Government regulating entertainment that people choose to buy is never good
At some point they could easily decide harmless shit like blood is bad, which some have

>plays blatlantly p2w "game"
>"WOOOW why can't I win if I don't pay up? get the fucking gubmint involved here so I can win!"
this is you

Government was the only thing that stopped cigarette companies from putting nicotine in anything they wanted.

So we should stop regulating casinos? Because gambling is entertainment

I'm an upper middle class heterosexual male in America. It's within my best interests to keep globalism and capitalism alive and well.

You're right. Movies can occasionally produce something of meaningful value outside it's intended aim which is to entertain.

Cigarettes are drugs, stop changing the subject

Way misinterpreting the thread, all I'm seeing is corporatist bootlickers ITT. People in the government being aware of the lootbox exploitation only means that the "80 yearolds" you're talking about are dying out and thus your statement crumbles.

remember when companies were allowed to inpect their own meat? absolutely nothing went wrong

Exactly, which is why we have to get rid of all regulations. First they make laws to stop people killing each other, and then who knows what commie hellhole awaits for us?

>once in their life the nannystate chooses freedom
>its for fucking EA
death to all brits

As long as the ones doing it are doing of their own free will and aren't underage I couldn't care less what retards do in a casino

All government regulation is bad, stop arguing otherwise commie. We need to keep them out of vidya and everything.

no need to to regulate. just put trump in charge of them, they'll all shut down from bankruptcy soon enough

>plays game that gets patched with p2w
>"WOOOW why can't you just pay up? Do you need the government to help you win? Just stop being poor!
this is you

There's no point in arguing you people
>Don't want them regulating art? You basically want murder to be legal!

>The ones who do tp and egg through are normaly the cunts which should be kept an eye on. We really dont tolerate those here. Its not about being free to be a cunt. Its about others not having to worry about troglodytes.

As a bong I used to egg houses on halloween.

Was funny at the time.

>games
>art

Fuck off, you get the point

>poormie keeps playing a p2w game out of brand loyalty or something
>he cries for the gubmint to step in
Can't make this shit up!

This.
I remember going into a shop on Halloween with my friend to buy eggs because we were gonna wreck this girls house who'd been bullying his sister and we got refused because it was obvious what we were doing.
Still, the Indian owned shop down the road didn't give a shit and sold em to us anyway.
It's not as bad as faggots make out.

>a non-member of the EU stopped the EU from banning loot boxes
????

What country are you talking about? What do you mean nothing went wrong? It's early measures *before* something went wrong. Before people died because of someone's cost-cutting and greed.

>and aren't underage
Why? If the government regulation lootboxes by preventing kids from buy them is bad then the government forcing private enterprises to ban kids from casinos would be too.

>why don't you want the government to regulate art?
>BECAUSE GOVERNMENT IS EVIL AND WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING
>but I want them in charge of my food, the laws of the land, and my healthcare

They haven't left yet

>thatsthejoke.jpg

Funny cause you just did.
>Poormie
I bet this sounded a lot more clever in your head

Politicians are older than ever and thanks to medical advances will only be getting older. There's another 20 years to go before boomers start dropping off in large numbers.
They introduce hundreds of bills/motions a year, mostly inane shit that never passes but that doesn't make them knowledgeable or even aware about any of it.

What's a bong?

Thats not what happened though, they said under the current legal definition of gambling in Bongladesh it is not gambling not that they will never do anything about it.

Who cares? Banning them in the US is whats making them shit their pants.

The "great depression" came about because the free market spiked at a point where life became unsustainable. Loans for corporations failed to be completed by the banks that made bad choices with other peoples' money, and when corporate loss came about they liquidated stock and employees and we ended up with something like 25% unemployment because the corporations that employed the private sector could no longer keep up with the debts piled up by unpayable bank loans.

You scream and preach about the free market and seem to conveniently forget that not even 10 years ago we almost had another great depression that was prevented due to government intervention in the form of multiple bank bailouts.

Yes, the free market is the best market, but even absolute freedom needs the basest amount of regulation. I'm not saying to go full blown capitalism or socialism, I'm saying to control dangerous shit because absolute freedom means you're giving people the ability to destroy themselves and each other, and limiting that is not being a nanny state you absolute trog.

Yeah but at least the casino owners can just write off their debts while the government pays for it. Good thing that isn't socialism.

The same they said about Battlefield 5

So because someone introduces something good to the video-game community, it should be shouted down? I'd rather they'd pass at least one good bill among the inane shit, as you say.

Lootboxes are gay, your plebeian "I'm a NEET but I know how to run a country!" politics opinons are trash, and basically, you're a big stinky doodoo head if you defend lootboxes or EA, ever.

>no u
>being a newfag
your mind on communism

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

Move to china, they love this state of mind in their consumers.

Wow, it's like they have a place in some things and no place in others

What point? That lootboxes should be protected just like art? Let me guess, lootbox regulations are a form of government censorship

Why? If you trust them with your life, why not trust them with video games? Prove to me that they will destroy video games with regulations, if they haven't done that at any point in the past.

Keep reaching, pinko.

You're the one asking the government to micromanage your purchasing habits, you move to China.

If people want to buy something, why stop them?
Entertainment is not a government issue

Also where the fuck did I use "no u"? Moron

They don't know the difference between good and bad for the "video-game community" and they don't care. Give them that power 10-15 years ago and they would have put draconian regulations on video game violence because that's what their soccer mom voters told them to do.

People are self-harming sheeple that must be ruled by an iron fist.

>Prove to me that they will destroy video games with regulations
Germany, Australia and China have been pretty fucked when it comes to games

Your english is lacking pedro.

COMMIES BTFO

Why? Government is just protecting the people from hurting themselves with violent games, just like how they enact laws to stop people killing eachother.I say it's an improvement.

Yea Forums never cease to amaze me at how dumb some of the posters defending lootboxes are, on top of comparing physical with digital media tied to a temporary online service. This will always be the "full retard" of this argument; an argument that shouldn't even be one in the first place.

>illiterate ESL accusing others of bad English
Now you're just getting desperate.

Except they were going to ban loot boxes now instead of your shitty "what if's 10-15 years ago", fuck off dishonest kike.

dilate

Basically
>people vote for thing
>government didn’t think they’d vote for thing

>proceed to shit on decision for three years, almost to the point of committing treason and damn near collapsing the government

>They're technically correct. And there's nothing to say these guidelines won't change.

My issue has always been that they are designed to be addictive. I don't have a problem with them providing they come with an 18 label and a disclaimer on the packaging and disc that they contain gambling mechanics that have a real world monetary system to them.

It's almost like we had a supreme court case that literally addressed that. Lootbox regulations isn't censorship.

Nah socialism (not communism) gets tried all the fucking time and it works, despite the delusional fantasies of circumcised-dicksucking Randroids. The Nordic states, the fascist states of 20th century Europe, Communist China, all say hello.

Trump tried to blame video games for amerisharts shooting each other not even two years ago. This is the benevolent government you are begging to control the industry.

Things are going to be great fun from here on out. I can't wait for the next election and the government collapsing as nobody gets any meaningful majority.
