Comment on Research reveals “non-existent” enforcement of industry-led standards on loot boxes

While I agree regulation must be enforced, let’s not forget that if a kid is playing on a phone that has a credit card saved, is enterely their parents’ fault.
And same if the kid has access to the card itself.
Laws to regulate lootboxes are a must, and I believe this kind of products should be treated as gambling. But FFS, it’s your kid, take some responsibility on what they play and what they buy. A 10 years-old can’t open a bank account or a credit card by themselves, so the card is their parents’. You are doing something very wrong as v parent if your kid can dispose of your credit cards unchecked and freely.

Fuck that, kids are kids. The companies are responsible for being able to easily roll back invalid loot box purchases if we allow them to exist in the first place.
My preference would be to ban them entirely.

“This kid shot up a school because their parents left their gun on the kitchen table fully loaded, but hey kids are kids!” That’s you right now.

“Parents who leave loaded guns on the table bear no responsibility if their kids shoot themselves with it.” That’s you right now.
