    At the expense of everyone’s privacy even if you don’t participate in the loot box economy, because you know the laws won’t be written for only if you access them it’ll be a blanket requirement. That’s not the way to get rid of loot boxes.

        Straight up ban them. No age gate, no nothing. Just no more loot boxes. It’s worse than a fucking casino and those should be banned too.

        • The line between banning loot boxes and banning games like Balatro is a very fine one, with a need to specify that what is being banned is monetary transactions to access lottery pools.

          That kind of accuracy and genuine intent is not what is currently present in lawmaking in most countries.

          I hope I’m wrong about this, but I don’t think I am.
