I have not really seen any reports or studies that show the harm of loose gaming policies. Yes, some are addicted and it is an issue, but is this worthy of government intervention in the context of all other issues? I am unsure. Love to see the data which seems to be absent here.
A lot of these microtransactions are designed to prey on vulnerable individuals, at the expense of making the games worse for those who don't pay. It's an exploitative business model that should be outlawed.
It must be a real issue for them because it's a revenue stream via taxes as well, so they made this decision knowing it has a direct cost.
