Comment on Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread

I have zero interest in paying for lootboxes or other gambling crap paid with real money in games.

But games like Lost Ark were banned in The Netherlands and it took me a while to figure out why it didn’t show in my Steam store.

I wish there were other means instead of just outright banning games from stores (like Diablo Immortal for mobile also isn’t available in The Netherlands). It didn’t take me much to get around the ban and install Lost Ark anyway, so I figured if I can do that, then what’s stopping people with gambling problems from doing the same as well.

Also it seems wildly inconsistent when games are and aren’t allowed for us to download. Feels like half the Steam library could be Thanos-snapped if it were just for lootboxes and transactions being present in games.
