False, the best cards let you draw specific cards from your deck.

It only took EA falling on their sword to remove black lion chests from GW2, and I'm suuuuper glad of it.

This is a good thing but I foresee a lot of companies jumping through loopholes about what qualifies as a "loot box".

At least that would mean there would be no point in anyone asking for the Game Corner to return in the next Pokemon. They'd be legally required to not put one in.

I don't see why gambling minigames that don't involve real currency at all would be affected by this.

The ESRB already has to certify games in many cases. They can just add this to the list of elements that they have to certify for. It should be straightforward to eliminate most loopholes. Anything that requires paying real money for a random outcome would be bad. Any random outcome that can be obtained from a currency that can be converted into from real money would also be bad.

Cracking open packs in video games (pre-microtransactions at least) was always a good feeling though. I'm talking the Pokemon TCG Game Boy games, the two AC!D titles...

Just getting rid of funbux would also be a huge improvement. I don't know poo poo about law, but if they go the route of argument of making parallels to physical goods, I wonder if that might have a knock on effect on DRM.

That's the feeling businesses are monetizing and exploiting, and I think it's reasonable to be suspicious and critical of the extremes to which these companies are exploiting our awful, broken brains.

I went count these eggs before their hatched. The industry has A LOT of money to spend to make sure that the worst that happens to the F2P economy is superficial. And, ever if this somehow takes down predatory game practices, it's gonna take like a minimum of 5 years

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I just realized isn't this going to totally pop the free to play bubble Loot boxes alone don't make up the extent of F2P exploitation. A common system used in a lot of mobile games is they gate your playtime or certain essential mechanics behind an "energy" system. You can play the game for free but what you can do is greatly limited by your energy. You get a little bit of energy for free each day, but if you just can't resist playing more you can conveniently buy as much as you want!  glam rock hamhock posted:I went count these eggs before their hatched.

I'm having fun thinking of loot box laundering schemes here, heh. Given how quickly Blizzard stepped around the probability transparency thing in China, I'm sure their marketing people have a bunch of ideas already, probably in some hidden briefcase somewhere like in the movies.
