I work in the sports and gambling industry, and in regulated markets, the games are far, far, far worse things than betting on sports. Like, you can not imagine the difference between those two things and how much more predatory the games are.
Games with loot boxes and microtransactions manipulate people from an extremely young age. And that's an enormous problem.

Lootboxes in games are the worst.
First everyone have access to it. Most people are dumb, kids are dumber. The game companies can manipulate the winnings on every level. Something has too high chance of appearing in the box or they do not make enough money just change a few things in code.
I'm glad there are countries banning this shit.

Streaming platforms need to ban gambling in gaming as well
Diablo Immortal is fueled by twitch streamers blasting their cash on these games, and why not? They make that money back easy with their viewers.
Worse still they inject these games with life by inspiring others to join in on the "fun", especially other whales to follow them suit.

If these parasitic scumbags weren't so predatory with their tactics, these sort of games and practices might have gone under the radar.
I hope the entire world follows the trend of banning this crap. Or heavily regulating it all. Either way.

. I can't find a derp free non-commentated video so only the below link. If this shit gets banned maybe we get better games in future?
Even watching NBA basketball this year they really turned it up to 11. Every other ad is about gambling and before the game they have these 2 clown "analysts" giving you their picks for the over unders etc.
