Welcome to assisted living and the passing of parenthood to the government.
Of course, many F2P players will be grumpy if their game switches to subscription only.
How on earth can a kid empty their parents bank account???
If you give your teenager a credit card, you do it for a limited bank account without any credit.
I play F1 series of games. During this holiday season, I went to the Playstation Store to buy F1 2021, and to my surprise, I saw something called Pit Coins. I left the store in a hurry without buying the game. So sad. I see Codemasters is fully integrated to the EA fold.
You dont beed to be a genius to know how inpressionable kids are
IMMEDIATE 1 year later loot boxes are still in games, money talks!
I agree its gambling and I agree that ea sucks and I agree that lootboxes suck but wtf is making them a higher rating when kids are so desensitized to sex drugs and violence. These is just a image fix and not an actual fix kids will still buy these games and games will still buy lootboxes
Yong, why do you hate kinder eggs?
This is good, but i hope they do it in a way that wont immediately fuck all f2p games that rely on loot boxes cuz some are really good.
They can fuck EA up tho, thats fine.
U.K: it’s gambling
EA: it’s only gambling if you can win.
the mircotranscation shit is why I mainly stick with indie games, and games I know for a fact it wont be filled with mircotransactions
Fight against lootbox is only like 5% of the entire plague thats terrorizing games nowadays. Look into predatory monitization tactics to see how far the psychological manipulation goes.
This is why I retro game as a 15 year old
Plarium: Sweating intensifies*
Hehe, the "UK House Of Lords" sounds awesome. I'm American, and I wish our government sounded half as cool 😀
Good
I hope for the same regulation of "surprise mekanix" to happen soon in the whole European Union.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Okay I'm gonna call it right now. gaming companies are just gonna start selling either start selling items with randomized stats so you can get an item you want with junk stats and have to buy again OR there gonna sell what you want at much higher rates.
This has been a long time coming.
Loot boxes are disgusting but we also cannot ignore the fact that these parents children who quote on quote have their bank accounts being used up need to put a rein on their children
They feel more like casino games, with a sports game on the side
Congratulations! you've figured out the 'not so' hidden nature of 'every' sports game in the world.
Many people here see the house of Lords as outdated and anachronistic, but I see their life peerage as making them above the power scramble of party politics. The Lords live broadcast is really interesting in how reasonable it is compared to the house of commons.
dont see this happening in America. government is just too corrupt.
If the UK ban loot boxes, the EU probably will too. And the EU is one hell of a big market. It would basically remove loot boxes globally.
The addictivity bullet point worries me. Every game is addictive by design. I hope they'll just focus on the gambling stuff like the boxes, and not games themselves.
If ea never existed, we'd be 100 year forward in gaming
the profit motive poisons everything
I simply don't play Fifa or 2k sports games NBA anymore because of the the gambling mechanics loot boxes ect, it's a shame because i miss playing them, i won't for one second support it, hopefully these laws get in forced and sports games become sports games again, that would be great.
Don't underestimate the cynicism of US politicians compared to the other legislative bodies. It's going to be a much harder fight for us.
I love to see that the tides are turning against video game companies and loot boxes and paid DLC are now starting to be phased out
I just got an ad for a gambling app, while watching a video about politicians trying to take gambling out of games.
Typical.
“The House of Lords” sounds like a pretty cool video game.
EA:Heres 1'000'000'000 pounds now go away.
England:Ok.
People are responsible for their own decisions. It ain't on a company to tell you to stop spending your money. If you need someone to come hold your hand because you lack self control, you probably need to just let someone else take care of your money completely.
Did you know that FIFA owns and utilizes slaves? Loot boxes are hardly the worst thing they've done.
I have read your article carefully and I agree with you very much. This has provided a great help for my thesis writing, and I will seriously improve it. However, I don’t know much about a certain place. Can you help me?
