Valve, the master of microtransactions, has invented a new type of loot box that seems to get around regulations in some European countries.

      Not bait. I’m just morally opposed to the normalization and encouragement of gambling especially for underaged populations but really for anyone.

              Addiction is a disease. No amount of parenting can prevent it. You know what could? Regulating corporations :)

                Exactly! They should start by banning porn games. Then lgbtq games that corrupts our children. Then any political opposition. Only then will we live in a free and safe society. /s

                  Porn and lgbtq games are not the same as gambling. You’ve used a false equivalency fallacy
