If there were laws, then there'd be no need for all these hearings. Silly rabbit, why would you make such redundant suggestions?
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.
Right because less bad=good? Gotta love that logic. I guess by that logic mass shooters are justified because Hitler did worse.
But in all seriousness even if TH was as bad as other lootboxes out there or dare I say worse. I think we all know you'll still be fighting to the death just defend Jagex.
The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

Don't forget this thread is about government regulations. How is it bad when:
(1) No government regulation prohibits any company to hire streamers. This goes either way to video game companies like Big Fish Casino or an unethical online magazine to hire streamers to say negative things about the video game industry.
(2) Jagex promotes their in game content as adventures, not loot boxes.
Yes, shaddy people paying streamers to do bad things against the video game industry like posting misleading information against MTX and such is unethical, although not unlawful.
The frigging irony... no worry though... The Self-regulating video game industry will get rid of those John and Jane Does 1-9000 soon.

Wonder why Margot James "reigned"
Very simple answer. She quit the government to protest against a proposed amendment that may derail Brexit. I don't see how Brexit has to do with loot boxes.
One thing you should know though. Nobody "reigned" or "reigns" the DCMS. It has many ministers.

Brexit is going to happen. UK will be on their own with their own video game regulation - which is voluntary levies all the way.
There are plenty of ministers in the DCMS to tell you:
"Loot boxes are a means of purchasing items, not an additional financial reward. They can't be traded offline for money. We don't think it is true to say loot boxes are gambling"
"You need the evidence as a justification for taking action, particularly if you're talking about regulation"

Shame they resigned and don't get to decide, hope you didn't pay them too much.
Dr. David Zendle, from York St John University, said: "The relationship between loot box spending and gambling remains serious and potentially dangerous regardless of whether loot boxes are technically considered a form of gambling or not. We strongly recommend that authorities and regulatory bodies restrict access to loot boxes."
