Actually they said Jagex will have a duty of care which makes them liable and that loot boxes are harmful and that they will be regulated by a new body possibly something like Ofcom during the transition period and if they don't do as they are told they will be fined and prosecuted.


Please provide source.


you first

please provide the source that says Jagex are allowed to harm our people and we will pay to fix them.


That's totally nonsense. Jagex is not harming anybody. Please show how Jagex is harming anybody and I will help to make Jagex know it in the real world.

Original message details are unavailable.
This study shows a relationship between loot box spending and problem gambling. We believe that the strength and direction of this relationship indicates that regulation of loot boxes is appropriate and necessary. For example, as suggested by [20], ratings agencies such as the ESRB and PEGI may wish to
incorporate additional parental advisories
into games that feature loot boxes, and may consider
restricting access to games
that feature loot boxes to players of legal gambling age.
Furthermore, we believe that the strength of the relationship that was observed here between problem gambling and loot box spending suggests that important gambling-related harm is experienced by users of loot boxes. We strongly recommend that relevant national and federal regulatory authorities conside
r restricting access to loot boxes
as if they were a form of gambling.
Whether loot boxes fulfil the technical requirements to be classified as gambling is a legal matter that will vary from territory to territory and from country to country. However, the evidence presented here clearly shows that there is a very real relationship between loot box spending and problem gambling. It is our opinion that this relationship remains
serious and potentially dangerous
regardless of whether loot boxes are technically considered a form of gambling or not.


remind me again where your research is dilbert

Scope of the inquiry
The inquiry will examine the development of immersive technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, and the potential impact these could have in the worlds of sport, entertainment and news. The inquiry will also look at how the addictive nature of some technologies can affect users’ engagement with gaming and social media, particularly amongst younger people

England
Main article: Duty of care in English law
The question whether a duty of care exists depends firstly on whether there is an analogous case in which the Courts have previously held there to exist (or not exist) a duty of care; and, if there is no analogous case, what the particular court deciding the case at issue itself thinks about whether a duty of care exists. Situations in which a duty of care have previously been held to exist include doctor and patient, manufacturer and consumer [2], and surveyor and mortgagor [3].
Accordingly, if there is an analogous case on duty of care, the court will simply apply that case to the facts of the new case without asking itself any normative question [4] . It is only if there is no similar case that the court will then go onto apply the normative criteria which Lord Bridge of Harwich sets out in Caparo Industries plc v Dickman,[5] in which the House of Lords set out the following three-part test:
Harm must be a "reasonably foreseeable" result of the defendant's conduct;[6][7][8][9][10]
A relationship of "proximity" must exist between the defendant and the claimant;
It must be "fair, just and reasonable" to impose liability.

Good thing from your quote it was "suggested" based on a research, and you even use the word "might".

It is clearly not law and there is not even anything remotely suggested Jagex has caused any harm at all. :D

How much research do you think someone needs to do on treasure hunter lmfaoooooo. It isn't rocket science sweetie. But you just keep going around and around in your little circle, hope they aren't paying those lawyers too much.

One person's opinions based on a research doesn't matter regardless how he conducted it. As DCMS clearly stated, to talk about regulations, there must be JUSTIFICATIONS. There is nothing at all. Nobody is even going to Court. No regulations. No real world cases. And Jagex is not even involved.

If you think Jagex broke any laws you can take them to Court, but don't forget even the person who wrote the research paper knew
"Whether loot boxes fulfil the technical requirements to be classified as gambling is a legal matter that will vary from territory to territory and from country to country"
.

Guess what? No country said a thing about Jagex and TH is gambling. :D

btw here is some research for you to start with

I understand that this post will be lost to time and may never be read by someone who is able to make changes for the better but I have a story to tell, about a game I loved.

I have played rs since I was 12 years old, the game has changed who I am by learning about the positive and negative people who you can meet, as i played the game and inspired my personality and character.
I had previously fallen for some of the easiest to see scams possible, in my earlier years and seen friends, over a wire, spend hours helping others out for nothing more than a thank you and a good thought. I have tried to live my life by the mantra of “do for those, what you would like for yourself”, and with a sensible head, it has served me well and this is because of RuneScape.

I thought myself un-scamable. The day of the squeal of fortune hit, and I didn’t realise how poisonous it would be for me. I was a young man, regular job, so I threw some money into it. I bought a small amount of keys to try it out. I didn’t realise it then but at that point I was hooked. I was buying the larger packs of spins every time I had spare cash spending literally all I could to try and get something rare. In that space of 2-3 months I had spent over £800 on micro transactions and I wouldn’t have stopped if it wasn’t for my father opening a bank statement by mistake and asking me do I know what I am doing.

All I saw was payments of £49.99 leaving my account in a massive string, it was the only thing I was spending other than bills. At this point I knew I had to stop. I had to find a way out. It was at this point that I quit the game. Because of the hot reaction I had to the micro transactions, I couldn’t resist them as they were the biggest advantage in the game. This experience changed me as a person.


let me know how it goes hun :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
