    Lol when has prevention and limiting access ever stopped kids from playing/looking at things they shouldn’t? They will find a way to get around this instantly.

      It seems like it’s targeting pay-to-win style games. The overall thinking is a bit absurd, but I’ll shed no tears for P2W companies getting trashed by this.

        Pay to win ruined everything… I remember when I discovered I could purchase all the godly gear (diablo ii LoD) I wanted for like $10USD back as a kid.

        It really made me reevaluate how much time I’ve been putting into the game to grind out my character. It took a lot of the pleasure and meaning out of all the time and energy I had put in.

        Now… Diablo II was not designed for this… This was against the Blizzard terms… But still applies.

        All this pay to win stuff on video games is terrible and really evil. Loot boxes are like putting slot machines on children’s playgrounds…
