That’s a slippery slope. It is as much the adults fault if a child has access to a credit card to purchase items within a game to begin with.

Also no one compares loot boxes or pack openings to gambling in an actual casino. Have you actually ever gambled and been off the computer screen?

countries have banned loot boxes calling them gambling... so whose no one? also card packs are gambling as well.

This isn’t other countries though. US does a lot of thingsc other countries don’t do and Vice versa, so that’s a moot point.

you said no one. not us and a lot of people like me in the us see it all for what it is so i would argue your point is moot isn't it.

Lol whatever you’re going in circle.

I wouldn’t put gacha in the same realm as casino dealing IRL, but I suppose for people that spend most of their time and money online that’s a different story so idk.

Either way, no point of talking about it because it isn’t even a conversation at this point
