Improve the bill, its in the one sentence you quoted, you tried reading?

Children can contact their representatives. Fun fact, the current US flag design was made by a kid for his school project for when Hawaii was going to become a US state, how did he get it made into the official flag? By reaching out of course, he called the congress several times, and the result? His design is now seen in every corner in the US.

They will need to go through their parents or legal guardians.


Yea yea, you clearly don't know about the US enough if you can say something like that.

If they have to go to Court, they will need an Ad Litem.

Of course kids have free speech rights too but just making comments means nothing.

Oh, how many "kids" have made their comments against loot boxes? Why we don't see many? Oh, even some "kids" refused to prove their real world identities to Jagex, which was required by GDPR?

Oh
yet
?
yet
for how many years since MTX was put in numerous games?

Oh did game developers like Jagex give those "kids" all the chances to show up in real life with real ID as mandated by GDPR among other real world laws. Too bad, the "kids" just don't show up. :(

Remind me how long it took for tobacco to get regulated since it got commercialised. Remind me how long it took alcohol to get regulated since it got commercialised. Remind me how long it took for food to be regulated and when the FDA was founded.

Oh yea, they didn't happen overnight. Come back to this thread when you finally learn about bureaucracy, or maybe don't, as I've tried to explain this simple concept to you countless times already. Go ahead and continue to feign ignorance.

Thank you for reminding Jagex and us Runescape players we don't have to worry about TH just like we don't have to worry about tobacco.

Why do we have to come back to "this thread" for whatever when IRL we can always go to the game everyday and enjoy TH? :D

Because by participating in this thread, more people can become aware of the predatory nature of lootboxes and TH. Thank you for doing your part.


Oh so you think they are so ignorant for how long? like 7 years.

Yes, of course I am doing my part - just to play the game as a gamer, and pay for the game as a consumer. What else do we come to a game for? :D

I believe smart gamers and consumers know what to do in the game and with their wallets.

We also need parental guidance and in game purchase labels too. I strongly recommend them because they will weed out all the predatory game mechanism when the smart consumers who live in the real world guided by the unbeatable Darwinism know what they really want to play and pay for - Natural Selection.

In the end, the games unfit to survive will fizzle like RSC, with their staff getting canned and players looking for something real to do in the real world, like a real job, rather. :)

I've been sick for the past month and haven't check the forums. I'm glad this thread is alive and have included another article in how progress is being (slowly) made.

For the Tobacco and Alcohol debate. Keep in mind legislation was super slow due to a lot of moving parts (farmers, distilleries, bar owners) that congress had to do their best to please to keep getting votes. There was also prohibition that proved a huge disaster.

Unlike alcohol and tobacco products, there are a lot more people that are against loot boxes then for them. It is pretty much "land slide" legislation to put this monster to rest. In modern times people have been more against tobacco then 20 or 30 years ago, hence the rise of vape products.

If this bill gets voted into law before the 2020 election, I'll be surprised. I might actually break down and give 500 gp to the first gold beggar I see! (that is a huge deal, normally I cap out giving only insults to gold beggars and maybe 5gp if I'm in a good mood)

Jagex 2019 New Year Resolution... MTX our customers until RS3 SERVER SHUTDOWN PARTY!
The RS3 Community is treated like :@ RUBBISH :@ due to constant TH promotions.

Don't buy keys on Treasure Hunter, if you do Jagex will only make more TH promotions :(

Tabacco and Alcohol have existed for many centuries, even millennia before any legislation were in place, for US at least.

Lootboxes in comparison are so much newer, yet we've made this much progress already. This is pretty much break neck pace in comparison.
