[QUOTE="deinonychus71, post: 8653306, member: 134943"] That is a lot of if. I have a few "addictions". One of them is energy drinks. I know it's bad to drink 2/3 a day, but whenever I'm upset at work I do it. Energy drinks are an addiction that is killing people. Is it something plaguing poor people because they can't afford better? What about smoking? What about drinking? The problem is by constantly giving people an excuse you are only managing to deresponsibilize them. It doesn't fix the core issue that is self-control. So If you cut down their addiction by legal ways... that they will simply find another thing to be addicted to. The world is never that black and white. Companies are not just pure evil, they're there to make money, but they want to avoid PR nightmares. And so in any situation like this, I think it is important to stick to the essence of the issue: - Kids are introduced to gambling through malicious ways: That is a problem to me, as kids are by law not responsible until a certain age. Parents who give money/credit cards to their kids for gambling purpose are just as bad. - P2W lootboxes are giving unfair advantage in video games, aka one's addiction is affecting other players. The only way to establish fair competition is then to gamble as well. You're never going to prevent people from gambling. Gambling is something that can be deeply enjoyed, too. It's not "always" bad. But it has to be regulated in a way that makes it fair for all parties, while keeping "children" out of that. [/QUOTE]
