I cannot tell you how happy this makes me!

"These kinds of loot boxes and microtransactions are explicitly designed to prey upon and exploit human psychology in the same way casino games are so designed. This is especially true for young adults who child psychologists and other experts explain are particularly vulnerable."

How can they make a case by saying lootboxes are bad for young people while most of the games are PG16 or 18 so no child needs to play the game to begin with?
