    What I want to see either outlawed or behind strict age verification is online gambling, including in videogames as loot boxes as well things like counter strike skin casinos. That would be dope and cool and epic but it seems like there’s not much political will for that sort of idea. It will probably take a high ranking politician’s child spending thousands to gamble to get any sort of response.

      Belgium did it. But since it’s only one country (and I think maybe one other?) the result is mostly belgians being annoyed that they can’t use some features in some games.

        And also partly the Netherlands. But I hope online gambling/loot boxes are going to be regulated on EU level for all members.
