Good that you know it took years decades and there are never any proven facts that whatever you feel needs to be regulated will be regulated.

Sorry what? I'm pretty sure there are regulations for tobacco and alcohol. Are you trying to agree with me?


So? But the FTC did not make these regulations or any regualtions at all the last decades.

Prostitution has been an issue for hundreds of years and I am sure it is 9000% more problematic to most people in the USA and the World, but there are still no definitive regulations across the USA states, let alone the entire world for hundreds of years. :D :D :D

So you find it funny that law makers are clearly waiting for the ftc's verdict so their bills have as high chance of passing as possible? Well I guess small things amuse small minds. Yes they can make bills when ever they want but if they want those bills to actually succeed they have to play smart. Surprising I know.

Also in your article you posted it also states that the FTC have began the initial steps in their investigation. It could be they don't know how long their investigation will take and they can't give an update
yet
.

But why don't you contact Maggie Hassan if you're that confident that no progress has been made and give us proof that nothing has done instead of celebrating how you believe nothing will happen to the company you constantly fanboy over on these forums.

I'm not talking about FTC? I'm talking about regulations coming into effect, in general.

If you are not talking about FTC then please don't jump into my discussion about FTC with the other user. Thanks for your cooperation and I have asked for your such cooperation numerous times on different occasions already.

Surprising you don't know everything you "guessed" more than a year ago on the thread you created totally failed... US Bills... Petitions... GDC loot box crisis... Do you want me to point you to that post again? :D :D :D :D :D :D

FTC's response to all inquiries regarding consumer issues. That's their job but nothing will be actually investigated if nobody shows up. In my last post from Variety, I clearly showed you Maggie Hasan has no clue whatsoever herself and she did not even know what's next. Clearly, she has been ignored.

You are the one who brought up FTC. Of course, you want to call Maggie Hassan if you really want anybody not to see how empty your empty posts mean. For us who can care least about the nothingness FTC is doing with Maggie Hassan, why should we even bother to call her? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yea I guess my posts are meaningless since you're so blind in your fanboyisim you've proven time and again you are completely immune to reason. Yea I know I don't know everything unlike you I can actually admit that. But you're also guessing nothing would happen even though things have happened in countries like Belgium.

Like I said the FTC can't tell us things they don't know. They could take months or they could come out with something next week. They obviously don't know themselves when their investigation will "end". But it's clear they are investigating otherwise they'll face backlash for not doing their jobs.

The only reason I bought up the FTC I already covered. But you're the one who is complete and utterly confident that nothing has been done so why don't you get us proof that nothing has been done. Or just do us all favour and stop posting your corporate shill nonsense for one day. But you're just going to do what any idiot does and drag us all down to your level and beat us with experience.

Told you clearly with my post on Page 27, Post 5 FTC's procedure is very transparent. Everybody like Polygon can inquire about the (lack of progress) of certain consumer complaints.

FTC's doctrine is Protecting the Consumers
, not the politicians. They handle every
consumer issue
with the same definite
"YES"
.

As a matter of fact, the former FTC official clearly told us the stance of FTC. FTC don't want to make laws since they know it is very hard for them to due to lack of legislative powes, and haven't been pushing for that for like 40 years already. Instead, they have been strongly pushing for self-regulation for different industries because they think anti-trust is their main concern and allowing as many industries to self-regulate to cater to different kinds of consumers is mission critical. For instance, FTC don't push for data security and protection, alcohol and parental control regulations like GDPR but they persuade the industries to self regulate.

For what will FTC do if they have something to do next? The article I quoted clearly mentioned that. It is what the BBB will do. They will need real life complaints with real life people filing them with real life identities. Then if there is need, the FTC/BBB will act as mediators and the consumers and the companies will meet at a real world table. So far nothing has happened obviously because they will need real world complaints. :D :D :D

As for pushing for self-regulation... sure it is absolutely great for the video game industry... but wait... don't we already have ESRB, PEGI, IDGA and the likes? Aren't they already calling for the parental guidance, in-game/in-app purchase labels and transparency of the loot boxes already? Yes, that's right.... The industry has been calling for and enforcing these things within their chartered domain... They don't even need FTC to ask them to. :D :D :D

Looks like they are doing something and I'm not the only one "guessing" what's going to happen with Loot Boxes. Also I already know the FTC don't have legislative powers but that's where the actual government comes in and their investigation will make laws easier to make. I believe we've already covered this.

Plus even if they do push further into self regulation it'll only mean we'll see less or even no loot boxes sooner. Otherwise well the bills will come and sooner or latter they'll have to remove them any way.
