Quoted from a thread in General, but is relevant to this thread too.
Original message details are unavailable.
Once the UK government get involved with regulating gambling in video games, we might actually see the end of Treasure Hunter. Treasure Hunter rewards are loot boxes, same concept.


BBC article's quote " The commission also raised concerns that close to a million young people had been exposed to gambling through "loot boxes" in video games or on smartphone apps. ":

I personally don't want to see any government involved. However, if companies like Jagex will not self-regulate themselves, then it will happen eventually.

Looks like more people are getting in on the lootbox discussion, in the US, Federal Trade Commission this time:

An example of the censorship.
Saw that one the other day. China's president is getting frustrated with being compared to Winnie the Pooh.

Her censored costume from Smash was added to Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It is optional, like it should have been in Smash.

I'm still flabbergasted that Hikari/Mythra is censored in Smash. What about characters like Bayonetta, who are literally sex in woman form?
