It's ridiculous in comparison to what I listed as real world issues that the UN deal with.
It's a T rated game in the USA & 16 in the UK & makes you aware of what it contains.
Here's the wording
Content is generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling and/or infrequent use of strong language.
English

The fact that children are getting ensnared by gambling culture is not a laughing matter. Children spend more time than anything else playing games like destiny with predatory systems. Our problem is not as big as a famine, but it is big as far as we are concerned and needs to be addressed.
-
Who gives these children the money to buy the game, and buy anything within the game? Parents do. Kids can't have a credit card. Parents need to start taking notice & responsibility of what they're buying and stop giving kids their credit cards. Again it tells you in the rating what to expect from the game & if you ignore that as a parent then it's your fault.
-
You cant use the argument "well parents gave them money" when a kid tries to buy cigarettes.
-
Of course you can as without money you can't buy anything like cigs or alcohol. Children don't have disposable income & most get their money from parents. Some may have a paper round or Saturday job & earn a very small amount but they don't & can't work a proper job until they're 16 in my country. Once you turn 16 you can then play the lottery and legally gamble. Kids also can not have a credit/debt card as only adults can have those & that's the only way to buy silver.
-
So if a kid walks into the store with their moms card they should be able to buy cigs or alcohol?
-
Lol what has that got to do with anything I said? I'll answer you though and say no because the child is underage, it's illegal and the shop keeper would be prosecuted. This game is Rated T for ages 13 & up. It tells you it contains simulated gambling and is not illegal, predatory or ensnaring because it tells you in the rating what it could contain. No parents credit card=no silver.

Thats the point tho. This game is equivalent to a time when children could buy tobbaco. That needs to change. Children should not be able to partake in something that stunts their psychological growth.

How is that equivalent to a game with loot boxes? Also you a qualified psychologist with case study proof of this? If you are let's see it.

Loot boxes damage children. Cigarettes damage children. This is how it is equivalent. It donesnt take a psychologist to realize that simulated gambling encourage a culture of addiction.

Loot boxes damage children? Lol Congratulations that's the stupidest statement on the internet today

Edited by FRANK WHITE 30: 12/23/2017 3:31:06 PMThanks for your opinion but I'll take it you have no proof at all. Kids have been using simulated gambling for as long as I can remember. Let's take football sticker books as an example. Year after year me and my friends would buy them, and buy pack upon pack of cards with pocket money hoping to fill up the book. Most years we didn't fill them because it was random in what you got in the pack & there was 100s of stickers. The only thing that helped was being able to trade with friends but even that didn't help to get us to 100% complete the book. But we didn't cry about not completing it as we knew it was luck of the draw with every pack & no one has any psychological damage.

Money is money friend but it's currency for what we use today, it's basic knowledge. Money talks but even then who gets behind of all world issue's. There is always an error in the world and the fact that you brought real world issue's in here means that you care but know that some thing's wrong in society. Corruption and dominance rule those 3rd world countries and our home lands are no different but civilized in loop holes that society continually cannibalize itself for a better world? Haha haha have no fear friend we hear you, but whatever happens it happens for a reason that shows us humans are selfish in any regard. Well cheers friend because you care for people and that's right, but yeah companies with such business practices are so apparent that we know what results come out and factoring this is the outcome of such said words. I'm very sure your not liking my speech pattern but yeah it's a result of such existing society where I live friend. :D
