I agree 100%. Kena Bridge of Spirits and Tony Hawk 1 + 2 HD are amazing games and have no DLC. It's a very complicated problem to solve, on some level adults have the freedom to be self-destructive. In another business case, dating apps are known to knowingly allow fake profiles to roam to encourage people to subscribe. And even after that, you have various freemium add-ons. Between this, and a very scary experience, I haven't used an app in years and I actually meet much higher quality people now. But adults have a right to spend their money whichever way they choose, if you enjoy spending 200$ or $300 a month on free to play games, and chatting with bots, enjoy yourself. The bigger issue with much of this stuff is there's no clear cap on how much money you can spend, so the bulk of freemium revenue comes from a tiny percentage of consumers. Like an addict will steal to finance their addiction, you'll have cases where someone will just steal their mom's credit card to buy Fortnite skins or Tinder boosts. I think a good compromise would be to restrict games with free to play mechanics to adults, as in if you're not at least 18 you're not allowed to play games with loot boxes. Once you're an adult, gambling is fine. At the same time, I also respect the countries who have just banned this form of gambling outright. As it appears the Netherlands has. https://screenrant.com/lootbox-gambling-microtransactions-illegal-japan-china-belgium-netherlands/ https://screenrant.com/lootbox-gambling-microtransactions-il...
