Do those civilians try to enforce gambling mechanics to children? No?

Then fuck them, those experiments may be useful for the human races survival

.

This is objectively a good thing, but not because of the loot boxes. A game designed with microtransactions in mind will neuter the game itself in order to make it less fun and drive players towards those mtx. Anything which reduces that bullshit is a 100% positive.

As a consumer, why would you support a store that takes your money and gives you random stuff you most likely don't want?

Yea Forums is full of unprincipled statist cucks

The Senate is the upper house of Congress. Once a bill gets through the Senate, it has to go through the House of Representative (if it hasn't gone through there already), then it has to be signed by the President.

>neo Yea Forums will defend nanny state
Clearly in this case it's necessary, because people obviously fucking BUY the lootboxes or they wouldn't bother putting them in. Lootboxes are a fucking blight on the industry in a way that not even microtransactions could have reached.

Why should a gambling system be implemented into games that have nothing to do with gambling? Its a jew tactic of the highest form and anything that prevents further the jewish agenda, is a step in the right direction. If a video game company can't sustain itself on profits from purchases of their game alone, they deserve to go under. Because that means they have not made a GOOD video game, and shitty developers like people with allergies should be naturally selected out of the cycle. For the greater good of humanity and gaming.

Though it's not the fault of the consumer because it doesn't cost publishers anything to cut content from games and sell them back to you or allow players to give them money for stuff that's already in the game.

People like you are the reason why I completely endorse political violence. You need to have your skull caved in with a bat.
Turning video games, one of the largest entertainment industries of all time, into a shitty nepotist gambling industry is also bad.

Well then violence, sexual content, cutting edge graphics, modding, and multiplayer have all been harmful to the quality of games in the past decade so say goodbye to those as well.

Banning "lootboxes" is totally out of the purview of the Federal government and a violation of the 10th Amendment. We don't need federal laws because you can't stop giving your 12 year old unsupervised access to your credit card.

Wow, it's like the goverment regulating things that are proven to be harmful and goverment regulating things that are not harmful are two different things.

I agree with your point about not wanting the government to unnecessarily have more control, but what do you propose should be done instead? The industry clearly isn't regulating itself, and most consumers don't even realize what's happened. I don't think lootboxes should be "illegal", but games with them need to be treated like any other kind of gambling.

I think pirating so much made me see how shitty lootboxes and microtransactions were, because even when not paying for them in single player games it still felt the game was getting fucked up by them sometimes. Maybe allowing people to pirate would fix the issue by hopefully just having them learn what the problem is, while avoiding giving the government more control, but I don't know.

is within the elite's grasp.

Good. Fuck publishers.

I think the fact that people here are unironically defending lootboxes shows that you guys genuinely don't like video games. This isn't memeing anymore, you people legitimately do want to see video games turn into p2W garbage.

Just slap a 100% vice tax on loot boxes. No need to ban them entirely. Fund education or infrastructure through the stupidity of the AAA game buying public. Win-win.

Show me a dev/game lowering "quality" to push towards a cash shop. If you say Star Wars Battlefront/Battlefield I will remind you that it was a shallow "baby's first FPS" before it ever got the loot boxes. Sports games have been in decline since pro sports leagues started pushing for exclusive contracts with publishers, Ultimate Team and lootboxes had nothing to do with that.

yes, It's parents job to take care of their kids, not the government. The nanny state facilitates retards which only makes more retards.

If some dipshit parent gives their kids access to their credit card and lets them buy random shit online, that's their own problem. Adding words like

you are actually retarded if you dont know what MKUltra is

>100% subjective
It is 100% objective fact that many games are being sold with less content for more money. Content and features that used to come with the product you paid for are now being sold separately while the price of the product remains the same. Games are deliberately being designed poorly to facilitate selling you the "better" gameplay to you for a fee. These are not subjective opinions, they are objectively worse products for more money

The impact that a company has by making a desicion is no the same as the one that you have by making this post, this is why they are not considered people by law.

They were horrible games BEFORE lootboxes you dipshit. Lootboxes didn't make the games suck more the games were shit to start with and then EA started to make ways to charge you more for them

>>whales play because they want to show off to F2Ps

Battlefront 2 would have been a perfectly fucking fine video game if it didn't have those lootboxes. Not every FPS game needs to be a hyper-autistic Quake ripoff with an intense skill ceiling.

Given the success of horse armor DLC in a single-player game, any article about how "mtx is solely for showing off" is rendered null and void.

I still feel disappointed every time I play a game and see microtransactions though, even if I'm not going to buy one. It just makes the game feel too much like a business transaction, like it's soulless

literally any game with a cash shop/not fully unlockable items at a 60-40 dollar price. Anything that is below that can justify a shit shop for losers, but if you charge full price give full content. Monetization was one of the easiest ways to spot retarded simps who actually think video games are a service.

There's always a huge sense of "it's okay when we do it" across the board. I don't know if it's an exclusively American thing, but the key to getting shit done is electing someone to do the opposite of what is expected. Example: Obama deported more illegals and opened up more fracking in America, making it energy independent while Trump has come the closest to any sort of sensible video game and gun control.

Honestly MMOs like WoW created the "prototype lootbox". Raid loot is basically a lootbox, you get a random chance of the item you want, if you don't get it (either from it not dropping or somebody swiping it from under you) you have to wait for the raid to reset in a week so you get 3-4 chances a month before you have to pay another month subscription for another 3-4 chances

At least a year or two ago they still had the decency to do mental gymnastics around a tweet like that, now they've fully embraced being retarded schizos.

Banning lootbox will mean jackshit as long fifaniggers are throwing their money at their yearly gachashit

They have, I suggest you to watch the Ubisoft admins talking about the subject, they based the model on that fact.

I'm going tolink you that if I can find it.

Before any contrarian retard replies to this (because they will), making video games is cheaper now than it used to be, between reusable engines and vastly streamlined development processes. So the "games cost more to make, so they need mtx to recoup costs" excuse is 100% fiction.

We can only hope so but the game industry is nothing if not arrogantly dismissive of self regulation

A full-priced game now is cheaper than they were back when mommy bought them for you. Not only this, but it costs a lot more to make a game that will satisfy you now than it did back then. Video games are a much riskier investment now and there's nothing wrong with milking retards with a lot of cash on hand.

That also happened with climate change denial. it was "oh yeah that's the thing I don't like about him"

Because the idiots in this thread think that if the lootbox system were just banned then developers would be forced to make everything free.

Yeah, that's shitty too and I won't play games that do this either. There are just too many games to choose from now to play ones that try and make you work to play them longer.

why dont any mass shooters target corporate HQs? modern corporations are the source of all society's ills yet they're miraculously unscathed in an era of completely organic mass shootings

really makes you think

Their existance encourages developers to water down products and to place unnecessary barriers in place to pad out game time so you're encouraged to throw an extra few bucks to make the game less inconvinent to play. We can no longer have skill based rewards such as the hyabusa armor from halo 3. Instead all rewards are luck based so that they can be monetized.

Most mass shooters are right-wingers and to conservatives, corporations are holy ground

They are. Just because a game is easier to make from a programmer's perspective doesn't mean they're cheaper. "Oh just re-use the engine!" Wow, that negates the cost of hiring an orchestra versus one guy doing MIDI. Man, those dozens of programmers are cheaper than the two friends coding in their spare time.

The video game industry brings in more money than any other medium and movies are like 15 fucking dollars. I'm not gonna sit here and cry for publishers who think their time waster is worth a a whole days wage+. 60 dollars is fair and I don't even pay that. Any more, regardless of wage is fiscally irresponsible if you are a hobbyist who buys multiple games.

Most of them have passable security and all the cowards want are soft targets anyway.

People need protection from those attempting to exploit their addictive impulses.

There is no other way to still "save face" while defending the mental illness that is his tweets. I had a friend who during the election was insisting unironically that it was 4D chess, which I could understand. Act like a retard to get elected by retarded voters. When he continued to be a retard suddenly this friend "didn't want to talk politics" anymore.

Fuck you, user. If game industries didn't completely fuck the money fleshlight to literal pieces I wouldn't care.

You can run your shit about how all you need to do is not buy it, but your pea-sized brain is thinking as tiny as the "microtransactions" they push. It's not about me, thankfully my addictive vices are just gaming in general and not having flashy shit go off in my face. It's about the people who are addicted to gambling, either knowingly or unknowingly, and getting to those fuckers. And there's a lot more of them than there are people not buying this shit, especially when you can form the habit in kids who are extra susceptible to it because their brains are still forming and are vulnerable to influence and habit-forming. They're the ones they make hand over fist money with, you disingenuous fuck.

Between the fact that they're OK exploiting so many people and are doing Special Olympics-tier shit to slow down regulation, I couldn't care less if government steps in, because government's the only one that'll knock these fucks out. It'll bring other problems but at this point I'd rather see what those problems are than see this one keep going.

But South Park apologized to Al Gore.

Even EA Battlefront 2 still had skill-based rewards like a Han Solo skin for 100%'ing the Battle Scenarios.

Just because the education system failed you doesn't mean the Jews were behind it. You're just retarded user.

>find out about child trafficking
>not fucking calling the cops
Sounds like Epstein had dirt on him or Trump is a cowardly piece of shit.

Let me put it another way. As humans are faulty, there needs to be some kind of system of safety nets, in order to protect humans from their own faults. While outright restrictions of lootboxes shouldn't be banned, they should be restricted. Games with gambling should be labelled as adult only, and you should need to prove that you're an adult, in order to purchase said game. Under those conditions, one should be able to gamble freely.

I have faith in Whites which is why the ethnostates are being formed as we speak

Trump wouldnt do such a sloppy job

Because as a mass shooter myself I want to punish humanity, it's because of the retarded average Joe that corporations and lobbies are ruining the world, so the average Joe must suffer.
I am not here to free anyone.

>>but but whales
>okay and? you arent entailed to something just because you want it.
Then your simply don't care any games or quality products. I don't want government regulation, what I want are better business practices that are a better deal for consumers. If the game industries rampant jewery has led to threats of regulation to reel them in, you won't see me shedding tears for them.

Based enlightened centalist, please tell us more about why being a fence sitter with no opinions is the true path.

It's an exception to the problem, most new games don't even offer that. Monetized skins are my least favorite trend and I miss getting skins in older games through collecting secrets or them being tied to achievements.

Fuck off EA.

Yes, it's the video games brainwashing only American children, it can't possibly be how easy it is to get a gun and republicans cutting mental health funding.

>bent the knee
Oh shit the GoT LARPers are here too

the cops were paid to look the other way on trafficking, retard. look what happened to Acosta, told to back off Epstein because "he's an intel asset"

a few dead CEOs and they get the message. surely it's much easier to target CEOs with so much public intel available rather than some mart.

why wont mass shooters just shoot up a CEO's house or two? why do they need to shoot random normals? almost as if....

>republican bill
Now that's a surprise to me. Good chance this'll actually get through since the White House is still itching to put the heat on video games.

Yep. Fuck lootboxes, fuck EA, and fuck Activision. Let em burn.

No, just someone who's not enough of a drooling retard to not be able to apply rational thinking and come to his own conclusions. Try getting some wrinkles and folds on that smooth brain of yours, maybe you'll start sentences differently.

Anyone who actually thinks this is a bad thing are corporate shills who should be promptly roped.

Why would a mass shooter who hates society would want to hurt a CEO? They should be buddies, they're both doing the same job.

maybe Trump knew if he spoke bad things would happen. he had to maneuver into better position first, i.e President of the United States

imagine being so low iq that you think being against government regulation also means you like lootboxes

>Games with gambling should be labelled as adult only, and you should need to prove that you're an adult, in order to purchase said game. Under those conditions, one should be able to gamble freely.

That's mostly an issue of age of consent/age of accountability thing, which is a general issue for a whole number of "adult" type activities and not just lootboxes. That's perfectly reasonable.

Unfortunately most of the people in this thread are in the
>I don't like it, therefore it should be banned
camp.

They aren't more expensive for publishers because they're exponentially more profitable than they've ever been. They can spend millions on a massive AAA game because they sell millions and turn a huge profit. And even for the few games that sell millions yet "underperform" for the studio, that is not a fault of the industry, that's the fault of the publishers for sinking too much money for the game to reasonable be profitable, even when they sell huge numbers. A company that can't turn a profit on a games that sell several millions has no right staying in business.

BASED CENTRALIST, you are smarter than us, more based and dare I say it, better?

so many reasons. killing a CEO would hurt profits and damage the economy if you look at it from another perspective.

yet all the recent organic and totally real mass shooters have targeted low value areas and people... except for the left wing crazy that went for Scalise on the baseball field. Fired over 50 rounds and couldnt score a kill.

And then be didn't say a fucking thing. He was jailed before he became president and someone on his cabinet was the lawyer that helped him serve a daytime sentence.

That's effectively what everyone's calling you. You care very much about letting everyone know how much you don't care.

Nice to see you're getting my point

As we have seen with google and microsoft and apple, companies when allowed to do whatever they want go to far, at a certain point the govt needs to step in and slap down the private sector when they go too crazy.
>inb4 muh private business can do what they want
the govt can force Christian bakers to make cakes for gays and force gun companies to pay reparations to mass shooting victims families, the standard has already been set that govt can interfere in private sector, I don’t like it but everyone else seems to be okay with it. Since people seem to be incapable of simply not purchasing nickel&dime shit, daddy govt has to ground the kids it seems. Just like how if people simply stopped using zuckbook twatter and censortube and went to different platforms in mass the companies would stop, but people are addicted to the needle fix it seems so the govt I guess has to do something.

On principle I am against govt interference, but pragmatically something has to be done.

So brave of him to tweet that after he's dead and make it about a past political opponent.

it's not only age of consent. But even consenting adults need some kind of buffer, so they don't get trapped in their own impulses. The desire to gamble hijacks the mind. It's not an obvious addiction like meth, because there is no substance involved. But it's still an addiction. And how can you intellectually claim that addicts are capable of making their own choices?

>predatory

Just don't buy it, you low impulse control faggot.

>the govt can force Christian bakers to make cakes for gays
The Christian bakers won that case you clickbait retard.

>past opponent
Hillary is still controlling the Fake News media with Obongo to foment any lethargic 'resistance' to Trump possible in the populace.

See nuke hurricane story.

Tick tock.

Most people are in the camp of it's bad therefore get rid of it because there's not a lot of good solutions beyond controlling businesses. The age restriction of mature-rated games is all but useless. Do you intend to implement something kinda like Facebook where you a Valve employee manually looks over your 2 forms of identification to confirm your age is at least 18 before the games will be released to you for playing?

still doesn't justify a nanny state or the use of force
