The government is not your parents and they do not exist to protect you from your own bad decisions.
Why am I paying them to allow consumers (which I am a group member) to get fucked over?
If you're paying almost $50k for video game items the only person fucking you over is you. Grow up and learn a little bit about personal responsibility.
Did you buy the pack but it sucked?
I just couldn't resist, the devs showed up at my house with guns, it was a whole thing. If only the state would step in and regulate stupidity!
That's exactly what they exist for
They exist to protect you from other people. You can waste your money on whatever dumbass shit you want.
But what if you don't actually want it, but you are addicted because other people exploit the psychology of humans?
One could argue that it's "their fault", but then everything is ones own fault. Furthermore this wouldn't change the fact IMHO, that we shouldn't prevent people from exploiting or harming other people, yk what I mean?
Anyways, as this doesn't seem to be a loot box or such, I think I agree with you here mostly.
Addicted to what? This isn't a loot box, there's no gambling seratonin rush. This package unlocks stuff you could earn by simply playing the game. It's an expensive cheat code. How many people are addicted to that? Does your crime have a victim?
I don't think they expect anyone to buy this. I think this is a marketing move. "Our game is so big that if you were to buy all these items individually they'd cost as much as a new Lexus. What a value!". Pure PR stuntery. And here we are, discussing it, so it worked.
