"England’s top mental health nurse says games may push kids into gambling habits."
Loot boxes don't push kids into a gambling habit so much as buying loot boxes is already a gambling habit, in and of itself. Because, you know, buying loot boxes is gambling. And it should go away forever. Because it's terrible and I hate it. Fuck the modern video game industry.
(In before Trump pushes for more loot boxes in video games.)
As far as video games go, gambling that doesn't allow me to easily save scum (or otherwise exploit) so that I can consistently win is not something I give a shit about. And even if it does, I still don't give much of a shit about it, unless it's for ultimate equipment or some unique item or something only obtainable through the gambling minigame.
As far as real life goes, gambling can fuck off and disappear forever, as far as I'm concerned.
