Micro-transaction Rate Law Passed in China

In an interesting turn of events, the Chinese government has passed a law requiring all major video game titles to have their micro-transaction item drop percentages displayed. This has to be updated once every few months . This includes titles such as : CoD , BF , Overwatch , LoL and WoW . Now, this may not be consequential since destiny does not have a massively integral micro-transaction system , or at least as big scale as some of the games mentioned above but it notes something : consumer friendliness . The government is allowing the general population to attain the knowledge and understand how much money one may have to spend to earn such items . Now for what irritates me , if China can do it , what is holding back the US? This is an indirect way to moderate these RNG gambling systems , since the low drop rates publicly displayed will magnify the drawbacks of investing money in these small item gains I'm not a selfish asshole who wants to leach as much content for as little as possible . But it is evident that corporations are taking advantage of chance and milking people for money for desiring an item . These major game titles as is make hundreds of millions off of game sales solely , intentionally throwing in RNG loot transactions in addition to other existing dlc is pathetic . They don't need the money , the profit off sales already far exceeds the developmental costs , etc. And corporations have even researched that the adrenaline / satisfaction of opening these micro-transactions is associated with the propensity towards buying these RNG commodities. Again , I'm not saying abolish all microtransactions. Just make them more outright presentable as what is available for what , or even possibly make people pay a flat fee for an item , nothing substantial. This step needs to be taken by the US as well , if you would like to see an in depth video on the topic , Drift0r on YouTube published a video on this matter today and this is where even I found out about this topic. Tl;Dr : China is taking steps to support the consumer against these RNG based transactions , US needs to follow as well.
