Oh to be sure, there are way to many examples of jerks taking the loot box concept too far. But I’m not sure I’m ready to demonize it like some people do

I like a lot of your points, but I have to correct you in one area, I’m not trying to convince people this isint gambling. I don’t think that casual gambling is a bad thing.

That’s what makes it gambling, tho. You can’t go a casino and just buy the prize from a slot machine.

Yes, that’s how most people react to those things. You knew, even then, that you were unlikely to win. But that’s the thrill, beating the odds. I

I have to say again, just because some people have a problem, doesn’t mean we all have to miss out. My uncle is an alcoholic, should I not be able to have some brews and watch the chiefs? Some people eat to much sugar, my kid can’t have a popsicle? Some people gamble to much, so it’s bad for my kiddo to play that coin dropping game?

It’s our job as parents to educate our kids on this stuff.

Oh yeah I’m totally down with them needing to be regulated.

As for the kids thing, I don’t put nicotine in the same camp as gambling. The addiction rate in smoking is way higher then gambling. Most 13 year Olds are able to play cool math games black jack without robbing a liquor store

I disagree that most people view it as bad. Arcades and stuff have been around forever, and are still being used by a ton of people. Just because you don’t want send your kids to chuck E cheese doesn’t mean most people agree with you

I’ll give you the proximity point, it is easier to access loot boxes when they are in a game.

But as for the missing out part, yeah that’s how it works. Your friend wins something from the claw machine or gets a bunch of tickets, now you want that. That’s part of the fun, your parents could just buy the toy but that’s lame

Do those people ban thier kids from arcades? Playing claw machines and stuff? I’m genuinely asking

Crytpo isn’t inherently anonymous. you can easily follow coins.

People dont want to know your opinion on support question etiquette, but here we are. Maybe the internet is for everyone, and sometimes that means you will meet people you don’t like.

Thats a good idea, and ill keep that option as a last measure type deal. Hopefully editing the contacts app fixes it. Thanks dude!

That is the most bitch way you could have asked me to do that.

Okay, i understand that you are coming from a place of wanting to help, and you didn’t need to do that, so i appreciate that aspect of this response.

But dude you pulled a lot of context out of a very short post. I’m asking how to change a picture and you recommended me seek mental help.

I dont know why i didn’t think of that, lol. I’ll try it and see if it sticks this time. thanks dude

Yes, because they are the least likely to know they are a part of a botnet

+1 for the vpn. The last isp letter i got was from one of her torrents, and it wasn’t even that popular of a game.

Yes i can, i use playnite.

This is a fun idea, but that is a whole lot of work when i can just drag and drop a folder to achieve the same result.

That’s dumb. If you are supposed to pay for something and you just take it instead, you stole it. You can argue word meanings and technicallies all day, but it’s a lot easier to just be real about what we are doing here.
