Not really. There's no profit motive in loot boxes. You also don't have a motive to buy more loot boxes to make up for a loss. Buy loot box, get item. It's no different than buying a booster pack of some trading card game.

Except it is you retard. The psychological reward mechanism is exactly the same. If you keep "playing" you have a chance to get a rare item or "jackpot."

It's not like you can sell rare items for real world currency

There's no distinction between winning money and winning rare items to the brain. You gambled, and you "won".

Kids aren't putting quarters in gumball machines, arcade games, or anything. Gotta keep that change flowing.

There's no value to any of those items though. The only property they have is rarity.

>It's a sad state of technology where a company that's literally running a business exploiting gambling addicted children with loot box garbage looks like a hero compared to Applel and Google.

not to mention they're almost half-owned by the Chinese government in their 40% partnership with Tencent

The brain doesn't care. Clearly you're too stupid to understand that being an ifaggot troglodyte.

It's almost like pulling a lever and hoping that chance will reward you with matching icons

by that logic all video games should be banned as we'll since they do the same
nobody gives a shit about loot boxes aside from knuckle-dragging mouth breathers

>doesn't make it gambling
you pay money
you have (pseudo rnd) chance of winning (something)
more you play?
less chance of winning (overall) you have
pushes (deliberately) same psychological buttons as 'classic gambling' (casino, etc) except no age barrier
WHAT PART OF THIS IS NOT FUCKING GAMBLING YOU HYPOCRITOCAL LYING UNDERSTONE DWELLER ??? ITS KIDS, YOU SLEAZY FUCKING CUNT.

Nobody has ever said it's gambling you brainlet retard. It does however exploit the same psychological weakness in the brain. Something you're probably vulnerable to seeing as you're too fucking retarded to understand such a simple concept.

>WHAT PART OF THIS IS NOT FUCKING GAMBLING
The fact that you neither win money nor win anything worth money.

Let's look at the literal definition of gambling:

>1. play games of chance for money; bet.
No money is made by the player.

>2. take risky action in the hope of a desired result.
Nothing is "risked". You are guaranteed to lose money, and guaranteed to get something, which is worth very little.

>The fact that you neither win money nor win anything worth money
'reward trigger' - ring a bell? same shit, different method of avoiding legal restrictions upon offering inherently gambling-based products TO UNDERAGE AND VULNERABLE CUSTOMERS.
I know, you know, lets cut the bull here. Sunstituting 'Cash' for 'rnd Reward' changes NOTHING of the dynamic here, its (literally) base and crass exploitation of minors

Is anyone even surprised?

retarded 12 year olds would say different

>you have (pseudo rnd) chance of winning (something)

it's 100% chance to win, the rarity changes

You're still getting an item for your money, an item you can't get without the crate

lol @ this predator bs on kids

If they have their own money they can buy what they want, if their parents are buying it then what's the issue.

yeah most children have their own credit cards after all

Children are incredibly naive and impressionable. They're also very prone to being obsessed or addicted with things, moreso than adults. It may not be literal gambling, but it's still very damaging to the children who play these games.

most get kids get an allowance or pocket money and parents buy the shit

>prepaid visa card
>parents buy it

at the end of the day it's the bitch ass parents who can't say no

>Children are incredibly naive and impressionable
Lucky they're in the care of someone who isn't. legally and physically

I'm not defending loot boxes. I'm saying they're not gambling. There are way too many people calling them gambling, which is an INCORRECT USE OF THE FUCKING WORD.

EA, Epic, Valve, and Blizz-act really need to be taken down. Bad enough they're reprehensible companies as is but the western model has been influence japanese developers that weren't nearly as bad or at least slow on the uptake.

Go back to your shitting street iPajeet.

Most of them don't understand the risks associated with it though. It's also a fairly new threat to their children (parents back then didn't have to deal with their children gambling behind their backs, and even if they did, it wasn't as easily available as it is now). You seem to be a hardcore libertarian who thinks that everything must be absolutely free, and it's the sole responsibility of the end user to use it responsibly. That would hold true if the end user was an adult with full mental power, but again, we're talking about kids. You're not evaluating this properly enough.

>child gambling
>with money they don't have
>and isn't gambling

Do you know why almost no country has done anything about it? because it's legally not gambling

Even german still hasn't banned them

>The KJM’s statement is non-committal. However, the KJM outlines that loot boxes can under certain circumstances violate youth protection laws. The KJM is not responsible for regulating gambling. Thus, potential issues from a gambling law perspective are not addressed

- did you literally not understand a word of that, or are you just acting retarded?

yeah you miss the bit where they can't control gamling and said it wasn't

why isn't the gambling commision doing anything?

They said (literally) - there are parts of the issue which would and should be covered by gambling laws, an area which is and was not part of their remit. Its (literally) stating the exact fucking opposite of what you are claiming it states; disingenous BS as per to no-ones particular surprise. Why dont you just go and pimp out a few 12 year olds instead, cunt?

yet it's not controlled by the gambling commission

wow funny that

and they didn't say it should be covered under gambling laws, make more shit up. read it. they can't and didn't comment on gambling.

best they can do is youth protection lmao

feel free to post all these countries saying it's legally gambling or stfu

Here we go again
