By that logic all games with any random component is gambling… which would include pretty much every game ever published. If Diablo isn’t gambling, then neither is genshin.

You’re explicity suggesting the thing is not suitable for kids, while also explicity calling something that isn’t gambling, gambling. That’s the point Cosmetic lootboxes are suitable for kids. Unlike porn or gambling.

The analogy only works if you believe gambling does the same relative harm as porn.

That is the problem I have with their terrible attempt at an analogy. Not only does it imply it’s comparable, it has to be for the analogy to work as intended.

India literally, present tense, supports the taliban.

Still India. India is currently aiding in the destruction of too many industries in western economies to be treated as anything other than an ally; in short if the west treats India as hostile the companies that own the governments in the west start changing those governments.

If you think cosmetic lootboxes are comparable to porn, you’re too stupid for internet access and your handler should limit your screen time in the future until a cure is found for whatever thing is currently affecting you.

Most of the game isn’t gambling, to pretend otherwise is just silly. It’s like being one of those idiots that pretend counterstrike is gambling.

Blame the US for declaring that US minors are too stupid and US parents too neglectful to pay attention to what is purchased online.

They have to kick off kids from their game, legally, and nearly all mobile and online games that have any way to spend real money will be doing the same within the next year.

Why the fuck would you call to set appointments or order food for pickup? What century are you living in that businesses don’t have websites for that. Why are you so lazy that you’re going to force a minimum wage worker to type things into a website that you yourself can access?

If it’s not an app or website, it’s a scam.

Nah I’m just not. Never before in history were you expected to just interrupt someone’s day that’s thousands of miles away.

I’d rather send a letter written with a quill than have to call someone. Hell if your business only accepts walk ins and calls I’m going to assume you’re illegally operating and have something to hide. I’d trust a business that only responds to emails over one that only takes calls.
