What does monopoly has to do with Jagex? Neither Jagex nor any game developer is considered monopoly anywhere in the world. What does this kind of anti-trust laws have to do with the video gaming industry?

I don't see how hard is it to understand what I'm saying?

You:
What can the governments do?


Me: Showing you what can the government do against rampant capitalism.

Anything specific in this vid you want to discuss other than EA compared their RNG based mechanics to Kinder Surprises and the roles of the unparliament.tv Oprah style talk shows that we have gone over many times in several threads already?

here is a video explaining how this whaleboy above me is being fooled

lets go whaling on gambling addicts, lets leave the morality out for later.


The guy in the video just gave a lecture on monetizing f2p games. That's not against the law. He was not even talking about gambling or addictions at all.

A Jagex marketing person also gave a lecture on Jagex monetization last year. Nothing special.

These are just academic lectures. Nothing worthy to discuss especially when company representatives just talk about their methods of promotions in an academic manner.

Oh sweet lordidoo


Unfortunately no law forbids any business to "hire" streamers with real money or in game items, and they don' even show the actual odds in streams.

Actually if there was law to prohibit video games from paying streamers, would that be even better for companies like Jagex that don't pay streamers, especially when they don't even advertise loot boxes in streams? :D :D :D

I don't think I need to keep reminding everybody Princess Alice is just a pixel girl, not some celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo and not even some real streamers, and you know what makes Pricess Alice holier than Cristiano Ronaldo, Pikachu and the loot box opening stremaer?

The answer is she doesn't even show up in any online TH commercials. Jagex is ethically advertising the adventure and entertainment of their games, not their MTX products like TH or Bonds.

It is about ethics, not laws. As I mentioned, Jagex is ethically advertising the adventure and entertainment of their games unlike those who advertise their loot boxes like Big Fish Casino, with or without paying streamers or celebrities

As a matter of fact, while it is unethical although not unlawful to hire streamers to open loot boxes, it is equally unethical although not unlawful for some communities to hire streamers to bad mouth loot boxes. ;)
