    Yes! Loot boxes are awful for children (and even adults). Glad to see the Dutch doing something about this, and I hope others follow as well.

      It’s a hard fight because these gambling companies make so much money and are able to lobby (bribe) their way into legality. The whole sports betting scheme bulldozed it’s way into Canada and suddenly so much advertising.
