Created a Petition on the White House Website to stop targeted in-game gambling (loot boxes)

[The Conservative]

The Conservative has gone full on communist authoritarian on us.

“We must use the force of the state to crush the capitalist loot crates. Uber loot shall be distributed to all, from each dev according to their ability, to each according to their loot needs, comrades!!!”

You don’t get to destroy entire industry finance model because you want a cooler looking sword for your nerd ranger. Did you actually stoop so low as to throw a pathetic “WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN” in there? Jesus, dude, stop being a crybaby over video games, you’re in your 40s. Why don’t you compete if gamers are so fed up with everything. Actually produce the video game you’ve supposedly been working on for a decade, rather than shitting on the people actually making products and trying to cripple their revenue options. No one forced you to buy that game. Stop trying to forbid everyone else from buying it, or any other game that won’t give you the flashiest fake equipment.

I'm writing a book... and the game is on the back burner for now... once the books are done, I'll come back to that... also, when I started it, I didn't have a family, things change.

And if I was going to go with the game, I would allow people to buy "paid" coin with in-game currency at a rate that means if you grind, you are rewarded for it.

I've always thought that if you worked hard enough for something, you should be able to obtain it. In the current system, that's not how it works.

Amusing, for someone who is trolling this topic, you don't know how serious this is in the gaming community, things like this is actually ruining otherwise what would be good games.

Its not serious dude. Its video games. That is the polar opposite of serious. The way you fix a problem like this is by not buying the game and convincing other people to follow suit. I dont see how the government even factors in. Im not even sure that level of effort is warranted though. Arent you a grown ass man?

But he’s thinking about the children.
With their parents’ credit cards.
The situation is ripe for abuse.

Bingo.

Who gives their kids unfettered access to credit cards?

This. You kinda deserve what you get then.

All I fucking did was let my twelve year old create an account at an Aruban online poker website and gave him my credit card number. Now I am thirty grand in credit card debt. Help me, government!

Create an account on an Xbox or PS, and you are required to enter a CC... make one as a child, and you don't. How many parents will just enter in the CC info and think nothing of it? Too many.

Really? The fact that a child made the purchase, by laws on the books already, the parents are not responsible for them. Any child under a specific age cannot be held accountable for debt such as from a CC.

It is not the government's job to ensure parents turn on the proper parental controls on their gaming systems. Parents should parent. A

The only child that needs protection is you. From your own harebrained schemes. You should change your username to The Dumbass.
