Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes
Goodeye8@piefed.social 16 hours agoDiablo 3 had a RMAH (real money auction house). I didn’t play the game long so it was still up when I stopped playing it. Since fuck blizzard.
Which got removed roughly when the expansion launched due to there being huge backlash on this bullshit.
WT requires you to buy keys to open the boxes, and you can sell the boxes you find on their store.
For premium boxes. You still get free boxes that you can open, but fair enough. That said, being able to sell premium boxes is not the same thing as being able to sell the things you got from the premium box and it changes nothing about the rest of what I said in the previous comment.
Eve has a full blown cash economy.
Not even going to bother with this one because who know what the fuck you mean here. Don’t bother explaining, I don’t care.
I honestly don’t care about any of this. I think if a fool wants to waste their money on digital skins for a game. Let them.
So why comment in the first place? Because now I have to waste my time correcting your vague bullshit and I’m pretty pissed off about it because this is something I care about and you’re here just talking shit about things you don’t understand and don’t care to understand. Good for you for not knowing how damaging addiction can be for addicts and the people around them, next time do everyone a favor and stfu when you don’t give a shit.

Which means what exactly…it was there. You asked. I provided.
Uhh ok? It kinda does…
Lol ok
Because this is a platform that allows people to post their comments. You whining about how you care that whales exist, doesn’t magically make your opinion more important than mine. Plenty of games out there aren’t pay 2 win…so vote with your wallet and don’t play them. If you are addicted get help. Don’t punish those who enjoy a vice. It’s how we get shit legislation that doesn’t do anything but create blackmarkets.

Which was something that was. Car used to run on gasoline mixed with lead, do you think if someone asked what are the problems with ICE engines they care about an issue that has been fixed for over a decade? Nobody cares about that because it’s fixed and the same way nobody cares that D3 had an auction have 12 years ago. It’s not relevant today so your example is worthless. The least you could do is own up your mistake but it’s pretty clear admitting fault is beyond your capacity.
Uhh ok? It kinda doesn’t…
You’re free to make a comment, but don’t get pissy when you get called out for being an ass. Because you are. That very line of thought means you’re okay with legalizing hard drugs. After all if you’re addicted to meth that’s your fault. We shouldn’t be punishing the people who somehow luck out of not getting addicted to meth. You don’t care about this issue so stfu, your opinion is irrelevant.

Lol people still buy gold and items online in a black market. The fuck are you on about. Pretty much every mmo ever made had gold/currency farmers. Game companies just decided to get in on the action. You complaining that some law is going to magically fix this is hilarious.
Lol
Lol where was I getting pissy, you’re the one that went into a rant about how I should be quiet.
Yep, %100 I am. You know why? Because it means that there would be support systems setup to help people. Crime would drop significantly, it would cause the cartels to lose their main revenue source, and it would kill off our for profit prison systems that currently house more than 85% of the total prison population…of which are non-violent drug offenses.
Apparently you’re a cop supporter…
That’s not how that works kid. Meth is illegal, and shit loads are addicted to it. Instead of resources going to help them, they get locked up and their lives ruined for felony charges.
Yea… I’m the pissy one.
