and yet you can still inhale the smoke even if its banned

wtf I love nu-Yea Forums now!

While I do think lootboxes are shit and not something to expose kids to, this feels pretty garbage

Are you people for real

Games with gambling whether real or simulated are suppose to have high age ratings. The problem is, the people giving out age ratings are the being funded by the people publishing games.

I guess you're forgetting how a Pokemon game got a 12+ rating in the UK for having a casino in while some NBA game has a casino in it has an age rating of 3+. The NBA games casino uses real currency while the Pokemon one didn't.

Yea Forums is full of zoomers who need nannies to literally feed them to survive. Doesn't matter if it's actual individuals, governments or autocrats. Zoomers need to have everything done for them because independence is scary.

then enforce laws or some shit to have gambling rated higher than 3
lootboxes don't create gambling addiction for kids, stupid parents do
kids aren't supposed to be able to buy shit online

Sometimes the means justify the ends
Yes British government just added another restriction on the ever extending pile of bullshit that are British overprotective laws
But doing so they crippled one of the major cancers of videogames
I'm more worried about what's next, with some luck it's limited time micro transactions, but it might as well be guns in videogames altogether

The laws literally say gambling in a game has to have a specific age rating. The problem is the people who judge the game and hand out ratings are being funded by the publishers of games.

The point still remains. When a game has a fully functional casino you can gamble with real money in and has an age rating of 3+, you can't just blame shit on parents. There is clearly an active attempt being made by publishers to keep parents ignorant so they can profit off of children.

>But doing so they crippled one of the major cancers of videogames
EA doesn't even care, british won't be able to buy lootboxes but they will still be in the game

Unironically good
Fuck EA.

You have to be 18 to buy cigarettes in the US. It's not clear if watching violence causes kids to be violent so it's merely not advised and related projects have warnings on them.

You also have to be 18 to gamble at a normal casino.

>Why not ban cigarettes for kids
But they are banned for kids
>Ban Violent movies/ games for kids
Are you just going to pretend R ratings and M ratings don’t exists?

Eh, even a stopped clock is right twice a day

Considering FIFA comes from England that's not a small loss for EA.

>something Yea Forums has been all for is finally happening
>thread is full of people laughing at this and defending loot boxes
No OP, nu-Yea Forums will hate this and as you can clearly see, they will also try to justify why it's not bad

EA will care when they start losing hundreds of millions a year.

You forgetting, FIFA is EAs most profitable game, something like 80% of that profit comes from lootboxes and the UK is the biggest market for FIFA.

Fucking why?
I was used to coming home at 10 pm on school nights and 12-1 am weekends

First it was the neddies then the bongs, more will follow, krauts or leafs probably
Even more, British developers probably won't be able to put them in their game in the first place

no I mean ban cigarettes even for adult
if lootboxes are harmful for kids even though they can't buy them, the smoke from cigarettes are also harmful even if they can't use them

It's all ogre

Good.

Fact is the widespread normalfag addiction to lootboxes and microtransactions in sports games is the main thing keeping EA going at this point, and anything that blows out their kneecaps and leaves them in a ditch is perfectly fine by me.

UKanon here, a lot of what is said on Yea Forums about our gubment is overblown, yes, people do get arrested for ridiculous shit, and yes the gubment do get called out for it, however plenty of people I know have acted offensive and received no punishment, folks in this thread are acting like this won't hurt EA, it will, the UK is probably their biggest market for their football games, so taking away their micro-transactions will hurt EA

and so does "auld"-Yea Forums.

I think any game that can ask for extra money purchases(randomized or not) should automatically be disqualified from an ESRB E/PEGI 3 rating. If you can't leave your kid alone with the game without the game asking them to pay up it's not for everyone (since it needs parental supervision).

It's legal for a kid to see an R-rated movie or play an M-rated game. The store might choose not sell it to a kid as business policy, but it's not a crime to sell such a product to someone under the recomended age, and it's not a crime if you allow your kid to watch that movie or play that game. A potent example was multiple movie theaters allowing people under 17 to buy tickets for Fahrenheit 9/11, despite it being R-rated, and no one got arrested for that. On the other hand, you can be sentenced to jail time in US if you knowingly sell or give cigarettes to minors.

Because cleverly disguised gambling designed for a different audience is just smart people looking for loopholes to profit off gambling. Casinos are banned in places because people are extremely stupid and pathetic when it comes to games that exploit the reward center and other parts of the brain, this is known and theres been studies on it.

You’re not looking at the potential issue where child gambling becomes normalized meaning parents are coaxed into paying for it like you bugged your parents to buy you pokemon cards. Not to mention normalization justifies it and makes it less controversial to include in other games, ones you may be playing.

I mean, I’m not even surprised. If you thought smash character reaction autism was bad, you know nothing

Sure.
Not for "muh kids" reasons obviously, but anything that fucks over this practice should be supported.

I'm perfectly fine with all loot boxes or other random shit you can buy with real money mechanics being evicted from video games. This is a win for every customer no matter what. Games will improve for everybody. Games will be designed around rewarding players for their time instead of extracting money from players.

Fuck EA and fuck lootboxes.

The fuck are you on about? Zoomers might be technology addled, but my friends and I, and legitimately everyone we know still went outside, we still stayed after school for clubs, we still talked to each other. For one, zoomers aren’t the whales with the will or disposable income to fund loot boxes.
I swear this condescension comes from people trying desperately to overfit one generation into one box and the other into another. Either that or you haven’t gone outside in forever and all you think zoomers are is dabbing and new slang.

I can understand if they want to ban gambling and predatory practices in games for kids.

However the way that was phrased, 'ban them all until you prove they're safe', was hilarious and so very like a nanny state.

It's honestly too late for banning cigarettes to adults now, so all the government can really do now is restrict it to adults, plain packaging (depending on country), and limited advertisement, along with 60% or more of box having warnings.

If governments banned it outright, people would resort to making their own and there would be a giant black market for them, and then you get more hospital cases due to unregulated cigarettes

I get it, to protect the chillren, sorta. Dont wanna turn every kid into a gambling addict before the casinos can hook em

Close. It’s money hungry people willing to toss the majority of gamers under a bus because theres a demographic of impressionable children and gamblers amongst them and the industry is unregulated. It’s a goldmine they want to cash in on and justify. Its part of why theres such a strong push to merge the identity of mobile games with console and pc.

baning lootboxshit is based
forcing devs to prove that they arent safe is retarded tho, the one who bans should have been the one providing evidence for how bad they are before they are baned, otherwise its just opening the gate for gov to ban whatever the fuck they like in games.

Food IS banned until it's proven that it's safe.

Because outside of 2 packs a day, there is no evidence that smoking actually does the damage that is claimed.
That's why there's no more stop smoking commercials out there.

And who fronts the cost? That's right, you do because of higher prices

But those are illegal too.

Why not both?

Gee I'm so mad that my food costs a marginally higher price so that it has been proven to be safe to eat.

Lmao at this mental gymnastics. Everything you purchased (hopefully) was FDA approved. So are GSC's.

I agree but for the wrong reasons.

How do you regulate lootboxes? You cant stop little jimmy from stealing his dad's credit card and lying about his age online, and making probability clear will only spur gamblers on even more for the thrill of winning that 1 in a million drop, the same reason why so many idiots buy into the lottery

The only thing that allows big corporations to do crap like price fixing, etc is government intervention that brings in restrictions to get into that sector, government financing (literally stealing money from people to give to big corporations), government keeping the stock market "safe", etc

>Piracy is a thing, faggot. I unironically want all these games to go the way of gacha, so that piracy will blossom back into what it was before Steam with cracks, cheat engines and keygens fucking everywhere
That's a fucking leap of logic though user. What makes you think all games becoming gacha will make piracy usher in a new age ?

Doesn't matter, it's for raw materials, but what about the whole dish?
it's like not testing bottled water company, if their water source have a license. You will need another testing and approval for final product.

Because they're an absolute cancer of games. What would you rather have: A game that has its designers focus on the gameplay and gs,e interactions, or a game that's had focus on what to cut so it can be sold, rather you can have the chance to maybe get the drop, for actual money, or in some cases an in game currency that has a really fucked ratio for actual dollars spent?

Gee user, I have no idea

>You cant stop little jimmy from stealing his dad's credit card and lying about his age online
It's called not giving your kids your damn credit card information.
You do it the same way you stop kids from playing on literal casino websites. With obligatory bank/card information tied to an 18+ identity.

Is it theoretically possible for a kid to jump through all of the hoops necessary to steal their parents' information and impersonate them online against their parents' will? Yes.
It's also theoretically possible for kids to buy guns and drugs on the street while fucking prostitutes. That doesn't mean the regulations are ineffective.

That's why those games will require constant online connection. And be online only. And legal services will definitely work extra hours to sue out of existence anyone willing to put the effort to somehow make a competent server emulator. Also, since the game design of the games will be fucked since it hinges entirely on you spending money to get an advantage, it'll be shit.
You're stupid if you think any kind of "golden age" will come with gachashit.

I'm okay with this. Not because "muh kiddies" but because of the fucking game design that loot boxes encourage. Just charge $10 extra if $60 isn't enough to cover your costs. Jesus christ, don't gut your game forever.

Food history is a complex thing in America. But yes, they do turn a blind eye to unhealthy things when corporations pay enough money. That’s precisely how a ludicrous amount of sugar gets okayed by the FDA so often that it’s become the new standard

Kids arent the ones buying them, whales are the problem and why this shit persists despite everyone hating it and their games tanking, because it only takes a few whales who keep paying to validate making that game and putting transactions in it.

What. Yes it happens but that doesn't mean the restrictions are ineffective. It just means they aren't absolute. If children could legally do drugs while fucking prostitutes you can still bet it'd be more common than it is.

Lootboxes aren't necessarily dangerous. Parents are just fucking retards looking for excuses for their shitty parenting as per usual. More so now that they somehow allow their dumb fuck children to have their credit card info. Please don't be a shitty parent to your kids if you somehow escape virginity.

Energy drinks aren't illegal for under 16s it's an elective virtue signal most major supermarkets do. Your local shop can absolutely sell energy drinks to teens with no reprecussions

FIFA 19 is a good game but doesn't need lootboxes/packs/whatever. UT would work if it were all just in-game currency

Thank god. Fuck loot boxes and all the nickle and dimming gaming has been infested with. I am so glad EA pushed this shit far enough to get politicians involved. Hopefully there will be more regulation on the pricing of video games and all the micro transactions they get away with.

>FIFA 19 is a good game

Yes. Although PES 2020 is my preferred soccer game.

Nah, nu-v hates things good for the industry.

>playing soccer games
what's it like not being white and being in a third world country?

>but that doesn't mean the very concept is irredeemable.
Yes, it does. Microtransactions of any kind are cancer, they actively incentivize the monetization of anything and everything they can be applied to. They compromise core game design.

>but doesn't need lootboxes/packs/whatever
>bu-but we cant remove them because reasons
Also
>FIFA
>PES
You're retarded enough to buy the same game every year because roster swaps, of course you'd defend lootboxes. Kids like you are also a reason why they need to be banned

Imagine defending lootboxes because you're such a contrarian shit head that you can't possibly have an opinion that isn't a reaction to someone elses.

That would be the fallacy of composition. Just because it consists of individuals does not mean it should have the same rights. The reason for that is simple, a collective is not an individual. Only an individual has rights.

>lol just vote with your wallet bro even though thousands of mouth breathers will continue to pay for lootboxes and mtx and corrupt publishers will still try to push the games as a service form lol

I wouldn't know.

I never said that, you must think you're responding to someone else. And I don't buy the same game every year, where the fuck did you get that from, faggot? I wait until like four years to get a soccer game. Unlike you retards that talk shit about games you never even play.

Isn't that the guy who shot up a mosque?

unregulated free markets can never work because the average person is a complete fucking idiot. If every person was intelligent and able to make good decisions EA wouldn't even exist.

>Does this means that the corporation can kill people without repercussions for people behind it?
it actually does, Coca-Cola does this literally all the time. They have several South American deathsquads under their direct employ.

What? Loot boxes are cancer and should be expunged.

>And? Name one good game that has lootboxes
Shadowverse. Teppen. MtG Arena. Granblue. Fire Emblem Heroes.
Fuck though. FIFA is garbage.

>he's defending esports trash in addition to lootboxes
Really man, just stop. Just admit that you cant play a game unless you got a special perk on easy mode because there is no other reason why anybody would think that buying their way to victory isnt a bad thing

Radium has a half life of 1600 years so probably not, the radiation levels haven't even gone down 10%

Fuck you dumbass, at least FIFA has modes unimpacted by monetization unlike your gacha shit.

Literally what in the fuck are you talking about? What special perk? I play manager mode, local matches and other shit, what the fuck are you on about? I said UT would be better without monetization. Are you ok?

European countries don't have a bill of rights, that said, lootboxes really only need to be banned in Europe for EAs lootbox scheme to fall apart, since that's where the money is from them, unfortunately, the same can't be said for 2K since their money maker is a sport popular in the US

But don't you see?! If they ban loot boxes, they'll totally put that content in for free and not charge more, or turn games into a service, or anything like that! They'll just give up the massive piles of money they make off this stuff and the quality of their games won't diminish at all!

Micro transactions and loot boxes have been a devastating cancer on gaming as a whole

>unlocking OPAF units/teams/weapons/powers/characters/what have you for money right at the start of the game
>and that's a good thing!
Given how you've cemented yourself as an esports-playing nigger with room-temperature IQ, I can safely ignore your posts as they'll be full of absolutely nothing

If you think either of those are worse alternatives you need to go see a doctor

Let me guess, it's a special minorities episode the maker of this webm omitted so he could generate outrage for luls.

I have never seen more faggoty kids in my life, these are the kinds of kids even the class outcasts would pick on and throw rocks at

Okay, schizo. Don't know what that has to do with any of the modes I just mentioned. Is this what seething about lootboxes does to your brain?

it's just as pathetic as people who deny climate science to own the libs
like at least when politicians deny climate science they're getting paid millions of dollars to do so, doing it for free is cockroach tier pathetic

Post the one of the kid doing the selfie
his dum face and the dum face he makes fucking kill me everytime

Absolutely positively royally based. Fuck the AAA kikes and God save the Queen.
