Those are still gambling. You’re spending money to risk a reward that could be worthless, or worth something. Both are gambling.

No, everything you said was wrong.

Many countries are currently looking into gambling laws around them.

Did offering up a different opinion strike a nerve?

Yes, we should. Claw games are intentionally designed to lose 9/10 times. They artificially weaken the claw grip on 9/10 attempts to prevent people from winning. It’s literally a fixed game. Youtube it.

Wow, this is a hell of a stupid comment.

Yeah this is psychological manipulation called “Skinner Boxes”.

Yes, because legislation, regulation, and consumer protections that you currently enjoy, are just fucking “Pearl clutching”.

No fucking shit.

says someone with literally no understanding of psychology or psychological triggers used by gambling and loot boxes

Then pointing out that a problem exists with a child getting 500$ is of what purpose? Everyone understands that’s a problem. It seems there’s a genuine misunderstanding that regulations are what would stop a child from spending that money in a casino or something equivalent, meaning the original argument I’m…

Hence why regulations exist to prevent a mistake from becoming even worse.

Hey man, there’s people who genuinely enjoy having a scatfetish. Power to them.

Oh good, you’re more of a legal expert than Belgiums entire government, who classified them as gambling.

No, gambling does not have that stipulation.

Alright dude.

This game was rushed out in the most half assed state of any AAA game in recent years.

So when I say there’s literally nothing stopping a 9 year old from doing this too, this is your response to that? Doesn’t that seem almost, not relevant?

Literally nothing is stopping this story from being about a 9 year old.

Literally gambling, but with out any regulation, restriction, oversight, or anything that gambling deals with.
