I mean, lootboxes as gambling for kids is more dubious, at least to me, than programming gambling games for adults, or working for a gambling company.
at least they have some level of legitimacy and some (feeble) attempts at damage prevention, compared to the alternative that they may take, which would be going straight into the arms of the black market and all the even worse shennanigans that comes with.
same view as legalised drugs, safe injection sites, etc etc.
EDIT : no one cares, but re reading this, the idea is also that instead of a black market for gambling, the adults can turn to a government regulated, standardised “safer” gambling
