So, once again a government tries to dictate what people can and cannot spend their money on.

I don't like games with lootboxes. I don't buy lootboxes. I don't buy games that have them. As a game developer, I don't work on games with lootboxes.

But this is my personal preference, and I am an adult who is capable of making such a decision. I respect other people who decide to buy lootboxes, even if I wouldn't do it myself. Why is it so hard to just live and let live?

Either make all games 18+ so adults can be making such decisions, or restrict gambling within games available without age restriction.

Promoting gambling to minors is something I find completely unethical.

Many are not the first part. Many who are the first part are not the second part.
