I'd find it fair for these games to be classified only for adults.
As for adults however, my philosophy is that we should stop treating them as kids that need to be told what they are and aren't allowed to do. Loot boxes are addictive? So is sugar, alcohol, sex and 1000 other things. Do we want to go down that road?
If someone wants to gamble a percentage of his income, that should be his choice. If he wants to gamble away all his money or even put himself into debt, also his choice.
- onion2k 8y agoBelgium has declared loot boxes are illegal because they violate Belgian gambling laws, not because all gambling is outlawed there. They could be implemented in ways that don't, and people would be able to spend their money on them again. Your suggestion that 'these games to be classified only for adults' is exactly what the gambling law says is necessary.
- nske 8y agoRequiring you to get a gambling license is a bit different than just requiring your games to be classed as adult-only. For starters there are limits to how many gambling licenses are available from the government each year and companies have to apply and pay for them. But my comment was mostly targeted to several other comments here that seemed over-eager to accept something should be rendered illegal simply because it's addictive and some people can't control themselves.
