The same year, the UK government resisted pressure to regulate loot boxes, saying the video game industry could self-regulate instead.
Oh yeah, how well is that going?
Self-regulation is a lie, you need an objective referee to ensure everyone is playing by the rules. Having a referee that can’t punish anyone is as good as not having one at all
“Oh yessum I’ll absolutely deliberately lower my profits for the safety of my customer, you bet!” People who think business has any other motivating incentive than profit are the dumbest kind of bootlicker and it makes me so sad.
It’s not even a referee, it’s three shareholders in a zebra print trench coat.
Most European countries should outright ban that shit. Only harm comes from this. Blizzard can be rightfully criticised for many their practices over the past decades but at least they got rid of loot boxes in OW.
making anyone say anything is violation of free speech! what is this, korea???
