Smoking doesn't cause cancer and loot boxes aren't turning young players into gambling addicts. Yeah, right. Screw Valve. They're just as 💩 as Microsoft enabling the genocide of children in Gaza.

Good! Only losers gamble! And the gangsters that are actively pushing gambling into anything these days, including video games, SHOULD be punished and removed from society!

A total ban on gambling advertising might have unintended consequences.
Opening new coal mines on the other hand is perfectly straightforward and transparent.

As a member of the European Union Parliament, I recently spoke about the importance of protecting consumers in the video game industry. Specifically, I called for a ban on loot boxes and gambling-like mechanics in games, as these can be harmful and exploitative, especially for minors.
To achieve this goal, I proposed several concrete measures:
1. Implement filters to detect and remove sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or mobbing content from online communities.
2. Regulate corporate practices that prioritize profits over player well-being, such as using opaque monetization models or manipulative psychological tactics.
3. Introduce stricter guidelines for game developers to ensure they are not exploiting players with gambling-like mechanics or predatory microtransactions.
4. Educate players and parents about the potential risks of video games and provide resources for responsible gaming practices.By taking these steps, we can create a safer and more responsible gaming environment for everyone in the EU. #ProtectConsumers #ResponsibleGaming #NoLootBoxes #BanGambling
