/v/ - Video Games

Yes.

>4,528 hours of gameplay

sounds like you are really getting your money's worth with this awesome EA title :^)

>pay for a game 60$

>gets 4,528 hours of gameplay for it

Dollarperhours is good nigger I don't see anything wrong with this

Do you have to unlock everything?

I don't know anything about this game but surely, it's just a matter of different options available to everyone, right? How has this game been structured such that everything has to be unlocked?

Once we have dealt with the Hollywood pedos and jews, the gaming industry should be next.

>>13801196

Once Hollywood is down half of vidya's problems will go with it.

>>13801206

>>Battles still aren't 32 vs 32 or more

Think of the poor XBOX ONE X© and the PS4 PRO™.

Are you shitting me?

I COULD LEARN A LANGUAGE WITH THAT KIND OF TIME INVESTMENT!

>>13801213

That's not that much considering there are autistic faggots on this very board that still want to play vanilla WoW in ${CURRENT_YEAR}.

>>13801222 (checked)

We all know you'll just waste time on garbage.

>>13801171

>4,528 hours

Not even assfaggot players last that long

>>13801222

You can also make much more money than 2100$.

Seeing how gameplay is nowadays you might as well get much more fun at work.

>>13801198

I'm trying really hard to understand how I'm being mocked here. I know you have a snarky point, I just can't interpret it. I know nothing of simulator games.

>>13801212

Wow.

Did EA get away with it?

(Sage because I feel myself dropping the thread quality)

>>13801171

>resetera

Fuck off.

>>13801230

>We all know you'll just waste time on garbage.

Well, yeah. But at least it's not this particular pile of garbage.

>>13801206

>>Battles still aren't 32 vs 32 or more

Why is it 20 vs 20 on PC?

>>13801222

Not japanese, that's for sure.

>>13801299

>Why is it 20 vs 20 on PC?

Because parity with consoles goy, can't have Battlefield 3 happening again, now can we?

>>13801213

<Thank goodness for micro-transactions or I'd be stuck playing the same game for months. - xXxEliteEAcocksuckerxXx

>>13801299

No in fact 4k hours is about how much time would it take to become proficient in Japanese including kanji writing.

I don't have a problem with microtransactions. Real gamers (life me) don''t mind spending a little more money. I do it inbetween lifting weights, and fucking big booty bitches after drinking beers.

I for one can't wait to purchase yet another fine ea product. I'll probably buy all the dlc day one as well. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

>>13801356

>buy a car that is fully loaded for the fully loaded price

>it's okay to pay to turn on the options other than turning, gas peddle, breaks, shifter, and clutch

What?

So tired of the negativity about ea here tbh.

>>13801428

I know you've never owned a car but this is how cars work. You have to pay for extra things. You lazy fucking neet.

>>13801452

>>13801450

>>13801356

Your shilling manual is outdated and shit, to shill properly lurk for some time atleast.

I'll be getting the second it releases. I hope that maybe some of us can meet up online and play it. This shaping up to be a classic in the making.

>>13801175

>>13801175

>>13801175

>>13801175

>>13801175

There's no need to deride it. You really are getting your moneys worth on this game. I for one am ready for this bold new future.

JEW WARS

SHEKELFRONT II

EAMPIRE KIKES BACK!

My starwars bros get up in here. I'm pumped to play this. May the force be with you.

>>13801488

>1488

It just works.

>>13801452

yes but you dont pay 1000+ % of the original price of the car for them>>13801452

>>13801222

Yeah the problem is 99% of fatasses here will never invest time on anything but videogames.

>>13801521

I think you're just projecting your own issues mate

>>13801435

But will it include kitten?

>No Prequel-kino

Who would buy this except the fags at RLM.

>>13801488

Someone please Photoshop the boxart with this.

>>13801601

akshually

it has Clone Wars era shit. Too bad it reuses maps, voicelines and objectives of the nuStarwars and OT shit. Additionally, you can have any hero in any period, meaning you'll have Kylyourself Ren fighting MaReySue while clankers and Clones fight in the back.

This is what it looks like when you claim to have mathmatically optimized a game for revenue. Every game mechanic tited to a cash purchase. Every reward tested to nag you to spend a bit of money to unlock it sooner. Every purchase will then have you in matches by playing against those who havent bought stuff in a while. Then you will loose because you havent been buying things in a while. So you will by things to start winning.

>>13801576

yes

>>13801699

That made me mad about Forza Horizon 3 aswell. Ads for their expansions fucking everywhere. I fucking paid for that game, don't give me fucking ads to spend even more money on it. If i wanted to buy more of your shit i would look it up.

>>13801450

>So tired of the negativity about ea here tbh.

You forgot to call everyone "nay-sayers" and "contrarian".

Fuck off shill.

Reminder that in response to the backlash, EA reduced the amount of credits you need by 75%.

Reminder that they also reduced the number of credits you EARN per battle by 75%.

>>13801171

Top Kek you could go from not being able to output "hello world" to being an advanced programmer in that amount of time.

>>13801222

Trips confirm.

>>13801194

Moreover EA has given us so many hours of quality gameplay over the years they deserve to fuck our wives right in front of us and they're entitled to us supporting and raising the resulting children. My meta Jamal has already given me two beautiful sons: lil' Tyrone and lil' Mohammed.

You could be a commercial jet pilot with that many hours invested.

You could learn several languages to an advanced level.

You could become an expert musician.

You could work minimum wage and come out with enough to buy a small house during that time.

You could meet several hundred thousand women on speed dates during that time, and bed a significant proportion of them.

You could become a competitive athelete.

Studying 35 hours a week, for 44 weeks a year for 3 years would be 4,620 hours - enough time to complete a standard degree course.

Yes you could obtain a degree in the same time.

It just shows how fucking useless video games are - and how much we could do if we didn't ever touch them.

At least consider putting half the amount of time into them, and half into something constructive. Your future self will thank you.

Lucas did have some creative ideas and imagination, but the money got to him. If he'd had the technology back when they were making the originals, he would have used CGI for all the backgrounds and effects, and it's only because they were limited by what was possible at the time that all the iconic practical effects were used. If you're not convinced, watch the Mr Plinkett reviews.

そうですよ！

Who ever wrote that into google, has no idea. That sentence is basically meaningless. "だいぶつほんとラにならだつた" だいぶつ(大仏) Big budda statueほんと(本当)ラ(I can only think he meant ほんとら　which is a an incorrect way to say ほんと in plural)に(grammar. this is fine)ならだつた(This part is really wrong), なら, if so/if that's the case; and then there is だつた they meant　だった which is past tense. だつた is a mistake gaijin make as つ and っ looks similar, but it's pretty obvious in speaking that it isn't the same at all.

So the correct translation of that sentence would be " The big budda reallys did tehtsa.?" The spelling mistakes are intention. The sentence doesn't make sense, the translation doesn't make sense, who ever made this was to make fun of you , or actually has a very low level of understanding of the language.

I'd wager it was somewhere between "not enough" and "give me more".

>>13803263

Well, I mean, it's a pretty decent summary. If there was something that also pointed out how it's even more evil to charge $60 to even have a game with gameplay-affecting loot crates (and $2100 worth of "content" locked away, with more to be added), then that would probably be used for this situation.

How are they going to drag Overwatch into this? There are only cosmetics in the lootboxes for that, right?

Who will back political campaigns, ask for favors, selectively enforce laws?

Like when your bottom line will be influenced by this stuff, so spending millions on bending them won't just become necessary, it will become PROFITABLE.

>>13803312

Overwatch isn't innocent.

And fucking Hearthstone is: Lootboxes, the game.

Blizzard mastered many of these practices, its just got WAY better PR. Its just as corrupt as EA it just shanks you when your back is turned whilst EA goes on a machine gun rampage.

>>13803356

Trust me, nothing would please me more to wake up to the news that Hearthstone has been shut down. But trading card games have existed for decades, and Hearthstone is really just the virtual version of that. I doubt there's anything legally shaky about selling virtual cards.

>>13803383

You could make the argument that digital cards can't be traded, but I'm not sure if the game lets you do that or not.

>>13803383

So do you want to get the government involved in those as well?

This will open the floodgates.

How many hours does it take to unlock everything in Team Fortress 2? I have 2,000 hours in it already and don't even have any rare items…

>>13803441

Well, for booster packs you know that you are getting some random cards. You're not necessarily hoping for the highest possible rewards or a card in particular, but you're buying it to get a certain amount of cards. You know what you get, and even the most useless cards can be made useful in some way. And if you want a specific one you can always buy them off a market. Same thing with cosmetics in TF2.

For SWBF2 your progression is largely tied to RNG because of the lootboxes. It's no longer about cosmetics, and the content you can get isn't entirely deterministic anymore either. While crafting points are certain, all of the other contents aren't. Whereas you knew with other lootboxes or boosters that you'd be getting a skin or at least seven cards, the lootboxes here are much more random in their content.

>>13803441

But you can sell cards from TCG booster packs. Most lootboxes don't have a secondary economy.

>>13801213

I played TF2 daily since December of the year it was released.

Played, past tense. I only got to 1.5k hours.

At 800 hours, every flaw became apparent.

At 1k I got sick of Valve not properly balancing the classes.

I took a break, then came back for the last 500. By then the communities were almost completely dissolved and I couldn't shit talk while wrecking faggots with stupid builds.

Full unlocks in any multiplayer game should be no more than 100 hours.

Full unlocks in any single player game shouldn't be more than 40 hours.

>>13803504

Most of what you listed is bullshit.

Most card traders are addicts, defending their addiction.

Just about every "Difference" in card packs apply to Digital games as well. You may be gambling to make Han Solo better or whatever.

It's all bullshit. Either kick the habit or admit that you can't stop. But don't defend your FAVORED crack dealer because you like his coat.

>>13803593

We're talking about gambling, not addiction.

>>13803601

>what is gambling addiction

>>13803504

>For SWBF2 your progression is largely tied to RNG because of the lootboxes.

Not only the progression, the whole meta is fucked up because of the RNG shit.

Each class has 4 weapons, only one is unlocked but the weapon isn't customizable, while the 3 others are customizable (3 different attachment) but locked behind the RNG loot (or the in-game crafting but let's face it, it will take ages to get the required number of crafting parts).

Each class has a set of 3 cards and each card has a different set of levels, giving the player a better shield, faster cooldown for the grenades etc. It's insane. The UI doesn't help either, it's really hard to understand the level of the player and what set of cards he's holding.

>It's no longer about cosmetics

True. From what I've heard you can't even customize your character unless he/she is a hero.

>>13801171

So they applied mobile game monetization design philosophy to a full scale AAA game. And then they wonder why it's not received well. Blithering oblivious imbeciles.

>>13803625

No, they get it completely. They just gotta keep shoving it until its normalized.

>>13803635

I know I'm a fool for saying it, but I still believe there is a point past which even the normalfags will balk.

>>13802656

>Is the google translation accurate at all?

If you're trying to translate more than one Japanese word at a time, the answer to this question is "No," more than 80% of the time.

>>13803648

You're not a fool. Normalfag havens are almost universally against EA. I have not seen a single thing defending them anywhere.

>>13803648

No your not a fool EA is just smarter then you.

It's playing both the generation game and influence game. This current generation does not remember a time before cosmetic DLC. Horse armor is a blip in the past.

Normalfags NOW maybe won't eat it up, but wait 5 more years, watch it spread to Activision, then every other publisher, and now its the new normal.

Im also seeing that they can position P2W and Hardcore morons against each other. Minnows resent the Whales, the Whales resent the minnows.

But neither realise that they are only in this system to begin with because the Aquarium keeper likes it this way.

>>13803658

Now if they would all just stop complaining and simply stop buying EA games, the issue they're whining about would dissolve in a historic bankruptcy.

But no, cry, whine, piss and moan all the way into the gas chamber.

>>13803295

I'm in disagreement. I actually want too government to get involved. This is a gambling piece of software and their selling this to minors. This is unregulated, and i wish better. In a optimal system, if we as a society agree that anyone under the age of 18 can't gamble, then we should be able to regulate the game on the basis of gambling. Now lets be clear, this is going to fuck over small business, mostly in the mobile market, and most likely using unity, but it's still fucking them over. This also brings us closer the system CA tried to impose. Here is the set of regulations i'm thinking of in the US.

>Anything where exchanging real currency can lead to randomized increase of loot drops should b considered a gambling transaction.

<What if you have a MMO that sells character slots, and these characters get 1 free randomize loot a day, is that a gambling transaction? I think yes.

While i don't disagree with the MMO problem described, i do think this is need rewording. For instance if i buy a character that increases loot drops, i do believe by definition, this is a gambling transaction

>Require proof of age 18 or up for games purchase and micro transaction (gambling transactions only) spending

Steam is ironically censoring, uncensoring patches for weeb games. This is because Washington law requires that they prove purchasers are 18 or older for pornographic content. Steam being steam, is noping out. Requiring the age of 18 or up on gambling will put this same pressure on loot box system and games the employee it. This will also give retailers that want a family friends image to shy away, maybe this list includes best buy and walmart. Maybe add space(not a requirement) for console manufactures to create a password for adult content, to allow by passing of some of these restrictions. What i mean is, you have your account, and you're required to enter in an additional password if you buy adult products after you've been verified. I suggest this to minimize harm to the open market.

>At the start of a game, add a 5+ second blurb about this product being only for adults only, children are not allowed to play it and it contains gambling. If they use a video file for this blurb, they are required do a check sum on the video file before the gambling part of the product is unlocked. This could mean the program crashes, or you're just not allowed access to parts of the game if you edit the specific file.(Rip removing intro video)

>They must comply with the federal or state gambling commissions regulations.

I'm defining it as a gambling, of course their going to have to.

>A game can have a censored version of product without these restrictions.They are required to prove they have in no way added a gambling system into the game where real money can may be exchanged to change or increase the number of items given to the player.

This will encourage developers to work on single player experience and save part of their teen market.

Opinions or additions?

>>13803658

If by "Normalfag havens" you mean normalfag gaming enthusiast sites like /r/gaming, GameFAQs, and so on, you're missing that even they are a level removed from complete normalfaggotry. The number of people who don't give a shit about video games as a medium, and just participate in them on the same level as blockbuster action flicks, is tremendous. The normalfaggiest of normalfags. They're never even going to know that anyone hates EA, because they have absolutely no reason to think about it, and will never be exposed to any who cares about video games enough that it would come up in normal conversation.

>>13803711

I mean places like Imgur, Facebook, and twitter. I can't personally attest, but from family, this mess has spread very far.

>>13803687

>This is a gambling piece of software and their selling this to minors.

So are Trading Cards. How about we put the responsibility on parents? I mean whats gonna happen? They put a "You must be at least 18 to gamble sticker?"

Kids already need their parent's cards to get involved, and PCs and games systems already have child lock systems inbuilt.

This is just shitty fucking Parenting. That's all it is.

Steam Also fucking created its OWN Lootbox gambling system and enjoyed it for many years. Im saying that if your best case scenario is "Censorship", then that's a shitty plan.

You can't ever save stupid people from themselves. Either stupid people stop eating paste or whatever protection plan will fuck everybody over.

A booster pack is functionally equivalent to a loot box. In a loot box, you know that you are getting some random loot, its quality dependent on the way the designers distributed it (and I believe they should at the very least be obligated by law to disclose these distributions and their probabilities). In the case of paper TCGs, you're going to end up with a lot of useless cardboard in bulk binders. True, the cards which are tradable can fuel a secondary market to recoup costs, but much depends on how popular/successful the TCG is.

In the end however, you're still doing the same thing: opening loot crates/booster packs in the hope that you hit the good stuff. Give your brain a high. Just like working a lottery scratch ticket. In that sense, the Gambling Commission may be able to build a case but again, I don't think they will get very far.

By the way, digitally, you can control or quash any secondary market outright. What do you think corporations prefer? For example, in the case of Magic: the Gathering, Wizards of the Coast are now gearing up to launch Mtg: Arena online, which very likely will have a card system like Hearthstone. You will no longer be able to trade your MtG: Arena cards, but you can craft the cards you want with some kind of "dust" you get from converting bulk. That's what Wizards prefers: sell MtG cards but without that pesky secondary market.

>>13803664

What disgusts me, is that you have people/"""influencers""" out there who tell you it's okay to buy a game with loot boxes. Just ignore the loot boxes, you'll still have a great time. These are the morons who facilitate the acceptance of loot boxes because after a while they'll say, "oh, I bought a few, it was fun, no biggie". A little later, they'll go, "loot boxes, why weren't you here sooner"? And then, AAA will bring us new AAA nightmares such as "dynamic pricing" (Scientific Revenue) and "intelligent matchmaking" (Activision Blizzard).

If there's no regulation and/or if people aren't well informed before purchase, it's up to each of us to be wary of what can happen and jump off the ride when it goes too far. For the time being, games I like are still being released, they're just not AAA anymore.

>>13803778

>>13803813

>Just ignore the loot boxes, you'll still have a great time.

The other part is that minnows attract whales. They are counting on minnows to come. That's literally EAs marketing strategy.

Also don't even PIRATE these games. Because apparently, studies show that piracy still promotes the game enough to encourage purchase.

That banished Arcade machines into casinos and gambling halls. Yes, its technically a youth protection regulation. Just punching your clock is technically just sperging out IRL. The argumentation for that amendment to the Youth Protection law was still all about Arcade machines being gambling 4 kids thus making it effectively a part of the Spielordnung that is bumming on Youth protection's couch. Now guess again, Spastie.

>>13801171

That's quite funny. In the past devs and producers, when confronted why the fuck single player games became shorter and shorter, used the excuse of 'muh effort/muh money on things that nobody will see'. Now they on purpose create content that will never be played; it's unlikely for someone to spend that much money and impossible to unlock through gameplay because the game won't be alive for long enough to do that.

>So are Trading Cards. How about we put the responsibility on parents?

Nah. Publishers are doing things which should be regulated but are unregulated AND it's in my hobby(this is obviously the most important thing).I'm not even suggesting it be banned, just regulated like slot machines. As for trading cards being regulated… sure why not, i don't care. If i'm going to say EA and mobile shit needs to be regulated, i might as well also say cards do. Honestly i do think it's a bit silly since cards haven't had drama around their sale but i must be consistent. However what will be more likely to happen is Video games get regulated, and card games will be ignored until the manufactures do something scummy which bring the attention of media and/or politicians.

> I mean whats gonna happen? They put a "You must be at least 18 to gamble sticker?"

Your right, thank you for inspiring a regulation. It'd basically be following same rules as porn.

>For a console, or DRM platform to play the gambling version of these products, they must prove the identity of the user, and their age is above 18, then have a secondary(Password different from their standard login) password for them to launch the software.

Any criticisms?

>Kids already need their parent's cards to get involved, and PCs and games systems already have child lock systems inbuilt.

Fairly sure PC games don't. The best i can think of is Game4WindowsLive, which doesn't exist anymore. maybe Windows 8 or Windows 10 stores have this but their not that popular.. As for console, true. If you remember, CA case failed, partly because the companies were doing more than what the state was demanding. In this case, the state is demanding verification of someones age before using a product. This would be similar to what you would find in a casino, where the casino have to remove minors from the gambling floor. Think less video games cases, and think gambling cases.

<Child is playing black jack

>This is just shitty fucking Parenting. That's all it is.

It's something the state already gets involved in. Has nothing to do with parenting beyond how it's already applied.

>Steam Also fucking created its OWN Lootbox gambling system and enjoyed it for many years.

So?… It gets applied equally. They'll have to take down names and ages, along with locking minors out of their game of CS:GO. Anyone that wants to buy CS:GO will have to prove on a level the state is stratified with that they are not a minor or being bought for a minor. Maybe refund customers or remove the gambling aspect if under the age. Also steams loot boxes have been criticism as exploiting children before so not your best attack.

>Im saying that if your best case scenario is "Censorship", then that's a shitty plan.

It's not censorship, it's regulation. The company can still do the same shitty business practice, but it will have to follow protections from the state. The people it will hit the hardest besides the developer/publisher will be online sellers such as steam, origin, Google play store, Uplay and amazon as it requires verification of your personal information. The places most likely to benefit is gamestop and any brick&mortar shops. Verification is as simple as buying liqueur or smokes from these locations. I'm bias but i don't think this censorship argument is working for you. I suggest you switch to regulation based one. There are flaws and harm done by regulation and i've even pointed out some.

>You can't ever save stupid people from themselves. Either stupid people stop eating paste or whatever protection plan will fuck everybody over.

Unless children, teens, and near adults are the stupid people, then i'd say you're completely off base. This system has no intention of stopping stupid people from doing what ever the fuck they want so long as their not below the age of 18. While i doubt the system will be completely effective, it think it will do it's job reasonably well. But if you want to criticize it, it's effectiveness is what i'd go after, and possibly if the harm is does is warranted given it's likely in/effectiveness.

>Banning Alchohol didn't stop drunk driving. Better education did.

Okay. I still need to be 21 or older, along with having an ID taken while i'm that age ,to drink(some legal leeway . but generally correct.) Whats the difference between now and then if it's censorship(banning?) to regulate it so getting it under the age of 21 is more difficult?

Says who? Regulation mostly doesn't help. Its a great way to get corporations involved in Lobbying. Monsanto, Railroads, Telephones, even the gambling industry uses regulation to keep competition out more then it stops their bad actions from happening.

This is so thoughtless and careless. "Well I don't drink much and I don't like drunks, let's ban all alcohol, let's prohibit it, what can possibly go wrong?".

Your logic is if its "Drama" or not? MTG keeps afloat many a hobby shop, and is a primary source of income for instance. You sink MTG, you sink those stores, you hurt the hobby industry in a massive way.

>Your right, thank you for inspiring a regulation. It'd basically be following same rules as porn.

And those rules stop under 18s from looking at it?

>Fairly sure PC games don't.

There are tons of proprietary apps that can function as parental blocks if parents cared. And again the money is all being billed to the parents card. They just don't care.

>It's something the state already gets involved in.

And do an ace job at it. As we all know the state is the master of good parenting judgement, and foster care is usually so great, children love it.

>It's not censorship, it's regulation.

No you pointed out how the regulation you're basing this on causing censorship and you look at that and say "man that's a GREAT idea".

>Unless children, teens, and near adults are the stupid people, then i'd say you're completely off base.

….Yes, those are the stupid people.

>Okay. I still need to be 21 or older, along with having an ID taken while i'm that age ,to drink

I was referencing the prohibition. Its just statistics that awareness campaigns in the 1960s lowered drunk driving, then the bans.

Like, its the same paradox. But laws are set by the same flawed human beings that set up casinos and market alcohol. Your not gonna weaken them by giving them institutional power.

>>13804376

That fucker's work absolutely disgusts me, I have no idea why he was so popular on /gif/ back in the day.

With regards to the whole lootboxes vs. trading cards problem, I personally wouldn't have a problem with random lootboxes if there was a secondary market (e.g. Valve's cosmetic system, Magic trading cards) or some other system such that the expected value of a lootcrate is higher than what you pay for it, as opposed to a standard gambling system where the expected value of e.g. a slot machine pull is less than what you put in. In the digital space, only Valve has this sort of system, mainly because they decided to hire an actual economist to set it up.

Magic trading cards are probably the better example, actually; when major retailers and resellers buy a pallet of cards, WotC provides guarantees on how many of each card will be provided in all the packs. If you manage to get your own pallet when Magic has a good season and sell cards at the right time, you can easily make tons on cardboard crack. I would do this, but WotC and Hasbro are pozzed beyond belief and I don't want to give them money.

>>13802088 (checked)

All of the images in the Kotaku archive are borked for me. Is there a way to fix them?

>>13803398

>>13803441

Hearthstone does not let you trade cards in any way; it's referred to in the marketing as a Collectible Card Game (CCG) instead of a Trading Card Game (TCG). Instead of trading the spare commons you get from packs with someone who doesn't have them, you have to destroy them for 1/8 the crafting cost.

That's not even the worst problem with Hearthstone. The game has become more and more casualized and imbalanced since the Standard rotation. And frankly, the game is incredibly feature-incomplete; it doesn't even have a game replay system, or a persistent game log.

Very good point. I have no counter.on hand.

>This is so thoughtless and careless. "Well I don't drink much and I don't like drunks, let's ban all alcohol, let's prohibit it, what can possibly go wrong?".

*sips coffee* nope. More like "Well if i'm going to put a restriction on liquor, and drugs are no more than dangerous, but we shouldn't start a war on them but treat them the same." Honestly doubt regulations would effect Card games since to my knowledge they aren't in the public eye.

>Your logic is if its "Drama" or not? MTG keeps afloat many a hobby shop, and is a primary source of income for instance. You sink MTG, you sink those stores, you hurt the hobby industry in a massive way.

Nah, the logic is to treat similar things in similar ways. You're the one that brought them up as a lootbox like item for a defense. You're like a jew that brings the ark of the covenant out to battle and then acts like a little bitch when philistines take it from you. If you don't think their the same, then make the argument. I think i could construct a weak argument while not being part of the hobby. As for sinking the stores… i already pointed out this will actively harm business before you came out with "mah card game". Are children and teens a significant enough part of the community to effect MTG if they can't take part? If hobby shops were making most of their profits from slotmachine, i'm not against restricting who can use those machine based on age.

>And those rules stop under 18s from looking at it?

Correction "Stop them from buying" and in most cases yes, i would say they do considering steam is currently cracking down on patches of all things because they don't want to deal with this issue. As for view, absolutely not. Law relating to porn and the Internet are way to lax for that. iirc on the viewer ship side, you just need to a button that says "Oh ya, i'm totally 18."

>There are tons of proprietary apps that can function as parental blocks if parents cared. And again the money is all being billed to the parents card. They just don't care.

Correct, but would that effect legal case?

I don't give 2 shits of parents money getting wasted because they gave them a creditcard with no limit.

mmmkay?….

>No you pointed out how the regulation you're basing this on causing censorship and you look at that and say "man that's a GREAT idea".

No comment since i'm bais and have nothing constructive to add.

Wait… you think those things are people?! HAHAHA! What next, legalized voting, ages 1 and up!

>I was referencing the prohibition. Its just statistics that awareness campaigns in the 1960s lowered drunk driving, then the bans.

Yes, i know you were referencing prohibition. I was pointing out in a post prohibition and post 1960s world, i am still required, as a grown ass adult, to show my ID, and be above a certain age to get liquor. I was also pointing out how this would be no different. Also, i'm going to take a guess, and say the largest group of drunk drivers (per 1000 of course.) would be adults that would be unaffected by 21 or older rule. But hey, if you want to give me a citation on the number of children driving cars while intoxicated in prohibition i'll be impressed. ( i could believe 15+, 21- having a significant number.)

>Like, its the same paradox. But laws are set by the same flawed human beings that set up casinos and market alcohol. Your not gonna weaken them by giving them institutional power.

While i disagree, that doesn't mean i am educated enough on the topic to rebuttal but it's a reasonable counter argument all the same.

Again, thank you anon.

Question for you. You seem to think if what i'm suggesting got placed into law, something like battle field wouldn't be possible. Is this because you think what is being suggested will prevent Battlefield game from being released because it has a gambling element. or because what i am suggest will go further than what is stated here (Which does seem to be a big concern of yours.)
