Loot boxes would be for adults only if Australian bill passes:

the full outline of the bill

Loot boxes are features of interactive games containing undisclosed items that can be purchased with real currency. They can take the form of a virtual box, crate, prize wheel or similar mechanism and contain a prize or item which may or may not benefit the player. For example, a loot box might contain a particular character, additional play time or access to levels and game maps.

This bill, even IF it is made into law, only applies to 'paid lootboxes'. There is like a billion ways to circumvent that by adding a 'middle man' game mechanic that makes a lootbox not being able to 'acquire directly' via paying.

Good. Next step is banning them altogether.

What

Legislation like this is why Blizzard shifted from loot boxes to microtransactions and a battle pass. Criticize the $20 skins and other things all you want, but Blizz saw the way the wind was blowing and acted.

Then studios quit releasing their games in that region and people will cry.

Like 'getting a credit' is for adults or like 'GTA is for adults'?

Good 👍🏿

GOOD.

I get what you're doing here, but OW loot boxes don't exist no more lmao
