And they’re planning to destroy your games after a set amount of years where one can no longer even look at the mtx one may mistakenly bought.

We are under constant attack from lobbying, foreign money, corruption and failing allied states looking to hurt us.
Other countries should be championing these causes also.
Absolutely there are plenty of bad actors trying to convince Europeans to get rid of their democracy because things aren’t perfect.

it's gambling for children is why. While I can choose to not buy the MTX inside a game, children and some young adults are more vulnerable to psychologically manipulative dark patterns that have been designed to mimic addiction as closely as possible.
Fuck them kids. Children aren't why these bastards are offering financing for this industry-swallowing abuse.

Why not just not play them if you don't like them?
I think that hunting games are not fun at all, but I can very easily address that by just not playing them, which avoids starting a fight with people who do like them. If I decided "I need to tell people to play games as I see best" and impose a ban, I'd be going out and starting a fight with people that just doesn't need to happen.
They're making everything like that now

But god forbid I use my credit card to pay for portrayed boobies!
The Christians have shady front groups they use to pressure credit.card companies Into bowing down to their agenda

Subscription based buy now pay later microtransactions. You won't see the price of the specific item but instead it just raises your monthly fee from £13.43 to £13.87 which seems pretty reasonable to give your character a pink dildo helmet.

I don't understand how the credit card industry is okay with this. Credit cards are unsecured debt that can be discharged through bankruptcy. Not only that, usually tangible purchases can be repossessed. If someone is addicted to an online game and uses their card to purchase digital assets, how are they going to make their money back?
If you know you only have a few months to live could you just max out credit card debt on digital goods to fuck over the credit card companies? There will be no value to recover.
Or drugs, if you can convert it into cash.

Wise words, stop making kids and let humanity die out in peace

'This systemic theft is against adults.'
'Yeah, man, voluntary extinction.'

Personally I'm not a huge fan of slavery, so I don't buy from companies who use it. Wanna guess how good this is at solving slavery?

Don't play games with microtransactions then. (And vote for political parties that might do something about it.)
As long as there are people paying for microtransactions, such shitty developments will continue. -

Basically a loan for buying virtual shit in games. I have heard of nothing more dystopian that this.

The problem here isn't that the games are bad, it's that people are being taken advantage off. A lot of effort goes into making these games as enticing to spend to spend money as possible, which leads to people spending more money on them than they can afford. Vulnerable people are being taken advantage off, and that's not okay.
