Make Eververse, and All Similar Systems, Illegal
I think it is time that governments step in and make these glorified online casinos that target underage kids illegal.
This is gambling, targeting minors. Period. I have seen the effects of these disgusting business practices on my own son. These games are using psychological warfare to prey on children, and people prone to gambling addiction. Time for this to stop.
Eververse has destroyed destiny, and microtransactions are destroying gaming.
Bungievision, I just have one question. How do you sleep at night, knowing that you are psychologically manipulating little kids to line your pockets?
The backlash is real, and you deserve every bit of criticism that comes your way. The dawning has shown your true colors. You are true corporate scum, and I fart in your general direction.

Eververse is the reason the soul has been ripped from destiny, Sure they are cosmetic trinkets and bobbles, but and here is the issue, In D1 if you did the hard raid you had a chance at the hard raid ship, hardly worth anything but a loading screen thing...NO was a trophy, a LOOK WHAT I DID, now that it gone, it was the reason for the grind the reason to do the nightfall or the hard raid....now its a chucky cheese token crapfest and they have used shaders and the sha m blue mods to water down the loot pool of eververse so your chances at exactly what you may want is near impossible in the short term. Eververse was first upsold to us on the premise it was to fund live team stuff ect, With the dawning Im not feeling it, it's a shitty cash grab and sickens me that we were fooled into believing this would top D1, many pre ordered, Im sure bungie scored hard, wait till they want my wallet open again!! They had a good thing and some sob ripped the heart out of the game in the name of more money, now the game is a husk of it's former glory!!

All of these stupid straw man arguments are exactly the reason why Activision and EA are able to get away with destroying gaming. If you are defending this crap, in any way, YOU are the problem.

5 RepliesEdited by RoninPhoenix650: 12/23/2017 6:50:16 PMWhy the frack do we care about kids? Hate to break it to you but most of them will just grow up to be idiots anyways. Your kids are not special, they are just more in the way people. Then you expect everything to be catered for kids because what, you decided to be a selfish ass hat and put the overpopulation if the planet at a lower priority than you passing on your genetics. What about your genes makes you think your kid will be any better than you? He won’t be the one to cure cancer, sorry. So frack those kids, and yours. How about we make things for the vast majority of the planet, adults, and let those who have kids actually do their jobs and raise them. If you don’t want your kids playing a game then don’t let them, that’s on you.

The government should have nothing to do with it. It is purely a choice, no one forcing anyone’s hand. And how are kids buying this unless the parent pays for it? If they can’t handle the heat of a kid whining because they want an emote or ghost they need to grow a spine. Not saying I’m a fan of the system and items not being in game but it’s 100% optional and avoidable.

Nope, that is a very childish and foolish thing to say.

Edited by albinomachina: 12/23/2017 8:51:23 PMHow about we make acting like a whiny, petulant little bitch on gaming forums illegal instead? edit - also, if you're a parent and allow your underage child to develop a "gambling addiction" that's on you OP. Not Bungie or anyone else.

Edited by girflush: 12/23/2017 8:05:50 PMThere are actual simulated online casino games where you can buy chips for real money and win in game outfits etc. The ESRB rates them Teen. Don't like them as a parent? Don't let your kids play them.

32 RepliesCan't believe how they get away with it. RNG loot boxes is gambling, full stop! Kids play this game and are being encouraged to gamble with their pocket money.

If we were able to pay for what we want like in Warframe, I’d have no problems with it. (Keep it cosmetic only though). Gambling practices like loot boxes should be illegal I agree.

They sleep at night by laying on their mattress of a pile of cash.
