You could use the same argument with lottery tickets "Lottery tickets aren't gambling because the buyer will always receive something, even if it is not something they want (a ticket with 0 matching numbers)" I think the "in-game purchases" label will do nothing as it makes no distinction between games that let you buy what you want, and those with loot box garbage

  • [quote]"Lottery tickets aren't gambling because the buyer will always receive something, even if it is not something they want (a ticket with 0 matching numbers)"[/quote] Sorry not correct. The non-winning lottery ticket has [u][b]"0" (Zero)[/b][/u] value if you lose. Meaning...you get [u]nothing[/u] back (no content). Even an RNG lootbox never gives you something of [u]little "in-game" value[/u]it's still content. [quote]I think the "in-game purchases" label will do nothing as it makes no distinction between games that let you buy what you want, and those with loot box garbage[/quote] It doesn't have to. It's there to notify the buyer, which should be the parent for a minor, that there are in-game purchases. It's the parents responsibility to find out what that means 'per game'. Why are so many people ok with shirking the responsibility off of the parents?
