Should loot boxes be banned in videogames?

[qwertyup23]

As someone who grew up in the boom of online games in the market, I would definitely say that there should be method in order to balance these loot boxes. Unfortunately, I notoriously spend huge amounts of cash for online game cosmetics and most of the rare stuff came from loot boxes which are priced ridiculously high.

Kids would be enticed into spending some cash in loot boxes as they contain rare skins. This actually equates to gambling where this method circumvents the law prohibiting gambling for children. While I also understand that these gaming companies need to profit, other methods should be chosen in order to distinguish the fine line between gambling and loot boxes.

When gambling addiction among the children was the subject an extra steps are needed to be taken because we are talking about the future leaders but banning the game won't be the solution because the kids will choose to play another game.
I think the perfect solution is to add some certain restrictions for children under the age of 19 years.

The implementation in video app as well in nowadays social media and applications were too easy now, we can say we're above 19 even we're not. The only cam help to avoid addiction in gambling is when the parents will insist to them to stop or do other activities than playing or doing gambling.

A recent study is showing that during the pandemic addiction to loot packs has grown, with 24% of those participating in a survey feeling they are addicted to them, do you think they should be banned for young people? Obviously most games rely on a random element when it comes to make their mechanics work, but when you can use real money to buy those loot boxes without really knowing what you are going to get you are crossing a line and it seems to me this should be considered gambling, what do you think?

When it comes to banning then this will particular be depending on the government itself because no one can really stop this activity besides them.They do have the full rights on what are their
take about these lootboxes.If they do find out to spark out more addiction then its not bad to put up some period to it.

If they do saw that it has nothing to do with something or by just simply buying up those lootboxes then they wouldnt really care at all.

Money had been spent on buying those arent actually cant be called as gambling though on general sense.Well,thats only my opinion.

Why would they ban this? It is just like buying up some mystery boxes online and trying to look on whats inside or just typical purchasing up into something which i dont see any gambling activity at all.

Yes, this might be addicted into those youngsters but as long the items inside of those lootboxes arent something compromising those who had bought specially children or young minds.

Companies who had done such stuff made out some new way or innovative method for them to sell out those loot boxes.I dont see anything wrong with that.
