Robert Flores
>wahhh the government needs to babysit me!!! wahhh I'm such an addict, we need the gobment to protect us wahhhh!

Here, take my cigarettes, too, please. And dirt bikes. And guns.

Pretty sure people just want games with gambling aspects that take real currency to be rated as adult games and not marketed to kids.
Samuel Sullivan
what kind of rodent is this? a shrew?
Aaron Stewart
Pretty much the current track we are on.
Matthew Ross
>adult game is rated and marketed to kida
>still dont buy it for them because i dont base my parental judgment on fucking childrens marketing
Chase Howard
Dunno, it's some kind of marsupial but all the rate sized once I looked up had longer noses or different eyes.
High probability that this is a bot.

Wahhhhh let's ask the government to ruin video games even more because this 33 year old on Reddit with autism spent all his disability money on Genshin impact and diablo RNG. But it's the game companies fault for preying on retards with no IRL responsibility. Asmongold says if a retard blows all their money gambling a law should be in pace for said retard to charge back all their spent cash. This conversation is totally about protecting children and not autistic 20-40 year olds wahhhh
Fuck off Kony 2012 losers. Go make a Facebook banner that says "I'm an autistic victim who lost my life savings on a video game because depression had me in a dark place at the time so the game took advantage of me." MEDIC MEEEEDIC!!! Who hurt you?! MEDIIIIIC

Zero.
The federal government has no job outside of delivering mail, building roads to deliverr the mail on, set weights and measures, set the currency, and bomb foreigners. That's it. They have no other purpose.
Anthony Lopez
This. Maybe if you lemmings would stop buying and playing vidya with lootboxes and faggot pandering in it, then you wouldn't have any of these issues.
ALL of this can be avoided by turning off your screen and GOING OUTSIDE. Fucking retards.
Carson Butler
never gonna happen, everyone INCLUDING YOU is too comfy and absorbed into modern conveniences like fast food and streaming tv shows, you wouldnt last a week if shit actually hit the fan and you had to take care of yourself. thats why nobody does anything, cause its hard.
Jaxson Flores
The federal government shouldn't exist at all.
Everything you just mentioned can be managed by private companies or the free market as a whole.
Jayden Morales
Fuck off faggot you don't know me.
I don't have a phone or a TV. I don't pay for anything that I can't touch. Stop projecting.
Adrian Hall
I say you all are thinking about this the wrong way. Big Tech gets a cut of all the transactions, this is a huge income stream for googlel and apull
Brandon Davis
This is a huge joke.
The country and the world at large is falling apart at the seems and Ted Jewz wants to talk about muh subversive vigimalgayems.
Isaac Lopez
What pisses me off about this is they're lying about it being about protecting children. Even asmon in that fucking video said he pushed that angle to get Republican politician and voters on board. The reality is, the FUCKING REALITY is almost everyone who complains about "predatory lootboxes and pay2win gambling mechanics" is some Far Leftists loser who ONLY spent thousands of dollars on their game because they wanted purpose in life. They're absolute losers by default, and so in their mentally ill minds though "If I gamble enough money to get a brand new C6 5-Star Genshin Impact character on DAY ONE everyone will like my Reddit post and think I'm cool. My perceived social status will be higher online. I will be one of those top 1% players. People will watch MY Twitch stream because I've got something rare, powerful, a sight to behold"
So these faggots spend the money. The games never require money to enjoy for normal people. But they spend and spend until they get burnt out of the game. Then they have the audacity to go online and make their About Me post crying about how they were victimized. The game company took advantage of a 28 year old depressed loser who's only drive for waking up each morning eat that video game. If they didn't lie and were just fucking honest I wouldn't be so angry, but no "It's about protecting the kids bro." Cunts always ruining video games. Say the government does ban all this stuff, what comes next is they cry again once their games now cost far more money pulling from the 99% who up till now been playing for Free/spending very little money, once the Company is no longer getting their big bucks from the 1% Whale spenders. That money will be made one way or another, but I'm sure these big social media activists will be happy to see $1 RNG lootboxes turn into $50+ guarantee'd items. Surely they won't complain about predatory gambling anymore since they can't, but the P2W/Paid advantages will still be present

>better make sure you get that hulu bill before you miss out on the season premier of whatever.
I can just get it for free by pirating it.
>maybe order some dominos.
Rather just buy a pizza at Aldis and bake it myself. Save myself $15.
