Exactly right, comparing real life issues with micro transactions in video games is sad to say the least. It’s an insult to people that can barely survive and having a decent meal is a luxury they can’t afford. There are many factors related to these issues and mass consumption/capitalism is certainly among the culprits. Addressing the UN for something like this is more than spat in the face of those who live in inequality every single day.

  • Sad? Sorry but I totally disagree with you on this. Micro transactions are set up in a way that does not let you buy what you want, instead it is left to chance to what you get. In other words gambling. In the U.K. The age restriction for online gambling is 18 yet Destiny is only rated at 16. That means minors are being influenced in gambling and that alone I find unacceptable. Bungie and others like them have brought this shit upon themselves and quite frankly I don't think they will listen if it's just us voicing our opinions. So when you say: [quote]Comparing real life issues with micro transactions in video games is sad to say the least.[/quote] This is real life money people are spending therefore making it a real life problem. And the only thing that is sad is the fact that the situation has to come to this before Bungie thinks twice about the ethics involved.

  • You can gamble at 16 in the UK. You can play the lottery & scratch cards.
