Good on this dude, vote red. Can’t wait for master handicap and the liberal morons of the forums to derail the thread though :(

i hope this gets bipartisan support

edit: how would they ban kids under the age of 18 to buy microtransactions (just wondering)

cuz this could end up like research sites where you just lie about your age and nothing changes

Easiest thing to do is to make the ESRB acknowledge that games with lootboxes purchasable with RLC contain gambling using said currency, there fore forcing them to label any game with it Adult Only. And Adult Only games are very seldom sold anymore, so it'd force companies to stop.

That's just my understanding I havent read the bill

how would this be regulated for online purchases like steam and app stores and such?

I'm fully in support of what this bill is trying to do but idk if it's actually gonna change much or be enforceable. I could be wrong though

AO is essentially Self Delete for a game because the 3 consoles won't even allow it on their platform and AO games aren't allowed to be advertised like other games
