Jagex has quietly raised its MTX prices to squeeze the last drips from exploited gambling addict kids, whole game is funded with depression and misery.

Jagex raised the prices of membership, bonds and some virtual currencies many months ago, but they announced it. They did not do it "quietly".

You seem to be veering further and further away from what your original post. The real world governments have absolutely nothing to do with Jagex's MTX pricing and the xp items they are selling. No laws can stop anybody from profiting from MTX. :D

If u're on ur last drip, u should stop jerking off. And get a life.

Take a look around u homie. Jagex don't control any of that. What, exactly, do u want them to fix? The price of milk? Skillet? Skill no.

So much moot.

Due to several countries investigation of lootboxes, which treasure hunter is, the pay to win era of runescape might be closing to its end.

Rs was always pay to win.

Turn ur computer on, pay ur electricity bill, win at rs.

Rs is not a f2p game. That's why u're sick, cos u think it is. Skillet? Skill no.

So much moot.

Jagex however is not an online casino that takes cash and gives poker chips for u to play and win 10m and see all the features before forcing u to lose it all, giving u a false sense of winning at gambling so u put loads in real pokies and game over life. No no. Rs is not that.

And, well, those pokies use electricity too. So rs is at least more f2p than pokies... So again, it's not rs they're talking about. Rs isn't the problem. Problem gambling is the problem. Rs even allow regretful buys and returns unlike pokies (u're account will be locked though, I think, idk exactly, I've never done a return. U could go to bank and cancel payments at least)...

Rs is not gambling. Skillet? Skill no.

So much moot.

gaming industry as a whole has suffered alot due to this, stocks of companies most heavily offering their predatory gambling services have plummeted 40-50%, not just one company making a mistake but many. Even investors know that the era of child gambling is coming to an end, making gaming companies less profitable as lootboxes start to get regulated.

They "plummeted" 40-50%? You mean like the ones with new games without loot boxes like Black Ops 4, RDR2 and Battlefield V?

Of course, they "plummeted" because they have no loot boxes and therefore lower income and guess what? The ones who hate loot boxes now point their fingers at other MTX.

Still, what does this have to do with government regulations?

I love how the games like black ops 4 added ridiculous lootboxes and Take-Two Interactive Software stock crashed ever since red dead redemption 2 online launch and its ridiculous mtx that they were forced to tune down. all the major tirple-a producers apart from witcher 3 makers have taken the hit. when you build a bubble targeting the children that bubble is destined to burst.
