    The same year, the UK government resisted pressure to regulate loot boxes, saying the video game industry could self-regulate instead.

    Oh yeah, how well is that going?

    Self-regulation is a lie, you need an objective referee to ensure everyone is playing by the rules. Having a referee that can’t punish anyone is as good as not having one at all

      “Oh yessum I’ll absolutely deliberately lower my profits for the safety of my customer, you bet!” People who think business has any other motivating incentive than profit are the dumbest kind of bootlicker and it makes me so sad.

      It’s not even a referee, it’s three shareholders in a zebra print trench coat.
