This is a trailer for NBA 2k20, that shows more gambling content than actual gameplay.

The top comment is:

Jesus, your comment really under sells just how bad that was. That trailer is 95% gambling. That's nuts lol.

Love the joke, hope it stays a joke.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 34 points 2 days ago

For context, he made this joke because PEGI rated the game 18+ recently

If lootboxes as they are done now can give someone an addiction to gambling, surely they could also be done in a way that stops addiction. Like maybe the game comes with a thing you attach to your genitals and every time you attempt to gamble on a lootbox, or shocks the shit outta you.

I get the feeling this might just make the gamblers gain a new fetish

thing you attach to your genitals

Because consoles would never have things that attach to your genitals.*

Doing it on the couch with friends just feels different, you understand.

[-] blackwateropeth@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

True, I find that one a pain to work around since you gotta continually ‘eat’ jokers… gets worse with eternals too

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

And they didn't even bother playing their planet card.

[-] Pieisawesome@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

There is a voucher that makes each planet card for the hand played give 1.5 * mult
