They're trying to hit this issue with a shovel when they need a fine sculpting chisel instead.

Plus based on the timing it feels retaliatory. This DA seems very corrupt, and I'd suspect her of being paid to litigate for others.

Where the procedure of it all is the cost, whether the case has merit is just irrelevant. Throw enough law at them and they'll be paying one way or another to make it go away.

It's the thousand hours of cleanup versus a pound of shit flinging situation. It takes infinitely more time to make something right than it does to fuck it up.

I'd like loot boxes to go away personally so that things can be earned in game again rather than purchased. ... but not like this.

This is not a mentality shift towards a player's enjoyment of the game, but hypothetically if it goes through, it would be law compliance instead. Which will just make people at the top in gaming bitter and resentful.

Remember the decade long, and still going boiled piss rally at "Hey could you disclose your biases in your gaming journalism so we know whether we can believe you, or if you're just propping up a friends with a fluff piece disguised as an endorsement?" It's fucking spilled into everything, hasn't it? They're still shitting and pissing themselves about it.

Sometimes when asking people to actually hold up their end of the bargain, it's just too much to ask.
