The phrasing was poor. > But, the deregulation of media companies is allowing anti-consumer practices. > Even the video game industry is starting to receive backlash for its "non-gambling" practices and the lootbox. The implication is that it's standard to implement anti-consumer practices like gambling (not called gambling) into consumer products (games). The VAST majority of games now, in a trend starting since circa 2005, has been to milk the customer via chance-based microtransactions, aka the "freemium" model. Games that do not use this, are heavily criticized by industry and critics as oversights or even unfair. i.e. You mean I might pay $X for a game and what if I don't like it? Now I'm out all $X!
