	So check this out: https://massivelyop.com/2021/07/14/australian-mp-plans-to-introduce-a-bill-banni... Forget the article: the page image is a chest from DDO. DDO does not have "lockboxes" or loot crates or anything remotely similar. Stock image fail FTW

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	An argument could be made that the Daily Dice rolls are an equivalent to the loot boxes. You get minor ones free, the rewards are all random generated and often suck but are just good enough to get you to spend money gambling and using cash money to buy astral shards to roll for more. It's not a 1:1 comparison but a very similar mechanic. The difference being real character power generally is not from daily dice and in many games there are things that the only way to get them are from the loot boxes.

You could make the argument, sure, but its fairly hard to argue that the chests are in any way lockboxes. Unless you want to count the very rare locked chest.

	Loot boxes have been for a long time a loophole to gamble for children. Everyone knows it, laws protecting kids need to be updated for todays tech. Same with advertisements on youtube videos ect.

Whether their motivation is altruistic or monetary is yet to be determined.

	The law makers in Australia are retards. Much like SSG. So it is a pretty good image to use because by the time the law comes out only retards like SSG will get caught by it. The mobile games will weasel their way straight out through the loopholes that will be the size of Texas.
