Even if it takes a hundred years, then so be it. The psychology of randomised MTX is not fully understood yet, which then obviously leading to little or no action being taken,
yet
. Just go back to my smoking example, and tell me, how long did it take for laws to be put in place since it was commercialised.

From my last post (Page 22, Post 10), we should all realize, Jagex is well aware of, prepared, tested and passed all kinds of non-existing "laws" and threats quoted by some lowest common denominator people. TH is an healthy entertainment.

A key note is Jagex and other smart video game companies should stay away from hosting any kind of real money trading/dueling/staking/gambling activities. The real world regulations can only spank the skin gamblers and real money duelers. Fortunately, RS3 is not such a real world gambling game. :D

In other words, you are still just spamming the same nothing.

Rest assured, people yelling nothing in the real world will accomplish nothing to the ears of the real governments, real companies and the real consumers.

However, the more they cry for nothing the more companies abide to real world regulations and self-reguatlions. Jagex obviously do the same thing and abide to the PEGI and ESRA guidelines by putting up in games purchase notice about their microtransactions, now and upcoming:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jagex.oldscape.android&hl=en_US

In-app Products
$6.99 - $99.99 per item



https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jagex.runescape.android&hl=en_US

In-app Products
$5.99 - $109.99 per item


TYVM for the bump and let all the consumers know that Jagex abide to the industry-wise self-regulations by reminding them OSRS and RS3 have and planned for in-app microtransactions going forward.
:D

I'm only doing it because you're the one who's repeating the same thing without bringing anything new to the table. You keep saying the same old "nothing is happening", even though:

1) Things have happened
2) Things are going on behind the scenes

Because if randomised MTX and online gambling are really that harmless, then do explain to me why one the biggest players in the industry is shying away from loot boxes? Oh yea, because when the government steps in to regulate, its bad news for both the devs and players. If the government stepping in is something that will never happen, as you keep trying to such narrative, then why is Epic Games changing their monetisation scheme?

I am repeating the same thing? I repeat nothing. I always added new and constructive information. I will definitely let Fmod and Jagex look into this nonsense next time I see it.

Nobody asked Epic to do anything. Nobody even complained about Fortnite's only loot box because it was only in its less popular PvE Save the World content. Players only buy Save the World to unlock the ability to earn V-Bucks they can use in Battle Royale where vast majority of their players go.

What governments called out Epic's Llama loot boxes? None. Epic made that change in preparation to turn Save the World from buy-to-play to free-to-play. Not that of any government actions, whatsoever.

And just to enlighten you, the randomness is still in the Llama loot boxes. Content still changes everyday but now they are being made transparent much like TH's Clairvoyant and Loot Duel.

Let me also bring you the news that the EA is not going to sell FIFA Ultimate Game Packs in Belgium starting today. However, that's just FIFA as it is the only game called out by the Belgium minister.

So that will conclude any Belgium regulation talks against any game developers whatsoever. Nobody else they can point the finger to... err... I should say no games else can they point the finger to since EA can still offer loot boxes in their other games in Belgium. :D

No, you have been repeating yourself over and over again. It is completely irrelevant to bring any news on failures to putting restrictions on online gambling because you can fail to shoot the hoop 999,999 times but you only need to succeed once for it all to count. So you can keep on repeating yourself like a broken record all you want by bringing up a million failed attempts, but as soon as 1 single attempt is successful, its all over.

As for the Epic Games situation, it is also completely irrelevant to say that no one is complaining about their monetisation. Actually, it is relevant, because that only makes my point better! The fact that players are not disgruntled by their monetisation, yet they chose to change it for the better, only indicates the fear they have for the government potentially stepping in. Since that'd be bad news for both the industry and the players. So thank you, for proving my point, again.

So you are just linking totally unrelated events like Epic making changes to (read that again, they did not remove) Llama and non existing government regulation again obviously.

Using your logic, the other 9000 games with added with loot boxes after the last word from Belgium proved the entire industry is encouraged by the lowest common denominators of the world and added even more loot boxes, made even more money and laughed even harder at the lowest common denominators. :D :D :D

You even admitted you are just trying to claim oneshot in 999,999 attempts as a big success. Thank you for showing us how big a failure it is. And that 1 shot in 1 million attempts does not even matter because your opponent still win by a landslide. :D :D :D
