OH NONONONONO
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

...

>Hawaii

why is this shit always happening in polynesian-land? I don't get it?

Just like how the ESRB was made.

N-NOOOOOOOOO

EA will use their massive lawyer team to find holes
You faggots just poked the bee hive

As long as everyone is mad i'm happy

EA is not mad, they are just thinking about how to scam users better.

Fuck off. Hawaii is as much apart of the U.S. as Guam or American Samoa, Puerto Rico, etc, they're all Americans. Fuck off, dumbass.

>YOU TOLD ME NO LAW WOULD EVER STOP US!!!!!
It won't. Again, here's a fact for all of you hot air blowers: there's not a single law passed or court precedent case that equates lootboxes to gambling and there never will be.

HEHEHEHAHAHThAHFSAHEHDYGHAWHUFIA BFUIBASHJAHAHAHAHIAUHTAWIUDFHAHAHAHAHA

They would still need the thing to pass the house and senate, good luck with that happening

Stop calling me a bro you falseflagging faggot

Lmao calm down ameriturd. Stop sperging

My nigga. In a lot of online games these days I like ruining it for other players more than actually playing, I wonder if it's a psychological thing that goes beyond schadenfreude

damn lando was handsome

>from the state that brought you worse gun laws than Cali, NY and NJ combined but you never hear about it because hardly anyone on Sup Forums lives there or cares about it
I seriously love shitposters on this site. Hawaii is suddenly relevant because they said fuck off to EA. Literally when was the last time a game was even set there?

Sociopathy.

>goty

Their law team will be happy about all the overtime offered in the run up to Christmas

>MUH GUNS

Every time with you Americans

Yeah that's the point. A country already declared lootboxes as gambling and banned them long before they appeared in AAA games.

Hawaii is nothing more that a strategic military position and you know it. It's no more America than an army base in Turkey

Gachashit and lootboxes have nothing in common. It is legal to sell lootboxes in Japan, so you just BTFOed yourself.

>Gachashit and lootboxes have nothing in common
They are exactly the same, sorry.

>declared lootboxes as gambling
>lootboxes
Where?

Name laws that paint Hawaii in a positive light then

Not him
Dear diary today I confirmed I'm a sociopath.

That's some antisocial tendencies you got there. Wouldn't go around being proud about the fact you're broken.

you are the same guy that said that ea would get off of this whole mess without any consequences arent you
your blood must be bubbling right now

So that's why it's legal for EA to sell lootboxes in Japan? OK.

The sun rises and it's nice there.

>hawaii
lmao this means nothing. Notice how no other state cares about this

And? They'll be losing money and I will continue not buying their games.

You break it you bought it

Their consumer protection laws are pretty good

Nah -- companies perpetuating the loot box system are already walking a very thin line. Anytime a state-level AG or higher court gets involved and a company tries to pull some tricky bullshit to get around it, it usually leads to lots of sunk costs in lengthy legal battles that almost always end up establishing precedents that close the loopholes they hoped to exploit.

The best part about this is that the companies perpetuating this bullshit solely rely on it to remain afloat because they've attracted big investors solely interested in introducing more subversive ways to bleed extra cash from their target consumers. The moment a significant legal roadblock stops that progression and dries up the promise of tons of free money via dumb asses not being able to pay for the "convenience" of gambling for the chance to get things that are technically included in the price tag of the video game they already paid for-- you can watch companies like EA crash and burn as their investors move on to shadier pastures in the next short-lived lucrative scheme.

Tick tock lootcuck ;)

>ea would get off of this whole mess without any consequences
And EA did exactly that. EA lost nothing, the first national gambling commission verdict has been passed and it stated that lootbxoes are not gambling, get fucked.

>b-but muh stock
Market cap is just the theoretical price it would be to buy the entire company at that moment in time. Companies don't gain or lose money based on stock prices, the only time they get money is when they issue new stock for the first time. EA didn't lose any money, what happened is their market value has lowered. Unless they bought back the low-priced shares themselves then nothing happens with their cash directly.

SHALL

I won't believe it until EA is crashing, meanwhile they have enough money to tank for several failed attempts

What denotes *real* America, then? Why isn't Alabama just some strategic property?

Reminder that this Hawaiian cuck is just looking for his gravy train to fame so he can run for a higher office.

He doesn't give two shits about you or the gaming industry.

No actual laws have been passed in Belgium.
No actual laws have been passed in Hawaii.
No actual laws have been passed in Australia.
No actual laws have been passed in the UK.
No actual laws have been passed in France.
No actual laws have been passed in Austria.

But a lot of hot air was blown by politicians, yes. Meanwhile, EA is still selling lootboxes in those countries through their sports games and has officially stated that they will resume selling them on BF2 as well.

wow you just described every politician ever, congrats

Higher racial purity. They're more intelligent than the breeding pool of whops, spics, niggers, and potatoes that is the rest of the US.

>hurr you're a sociopath for petty interference in video games on the level of pranking
No user, you just take things too seriously. And that's why it's funny to me.

because alabama is useless for everything

There's never been a school shooting massacre in Hawaii.

there's nothing intelligent about anti-capitalist policies. if anything, it's niggardly as fuck. on this issue the continental USA is infinitely smarter/better than them.

let me guess, you're a socialist brainlet and this post I made triggers you.

Why don't we just skip all the bullshit and pass a law against EA?

>Hawaii
Literally everything they do gets overturned fuck these 50% homeless leeches

Yes, you are entirely correct.

>I like ruining it for other players more than actually playing
You take it too far. A bit of a bunt every now and again is ok, but enjoying causing others to feel negatively in order to have fun is antisocial.

You really need to understand this.

Here's a truthbomb: Hawaiians are Mormon as fuck. Mormons are opposed to all forms of gambling.

Post yfw EA is going to report their massive growth and income during their final financial report by the end of the year and this entire board is going to be completely BTFO along with ribbit.

> the first national gambling commission verdict has been passed and it stated that lootbxoes are not gambling
which one user, do you mean this?
gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2017/11/21/belgiums-gaming-commission-has-declared-that-lootboxes-are-gambling.aspx
or this one?
powerup-gaming.com/2017/11/22/victorian-gambling-authority-loot-boxes-gambling/

This.

Hawaii is a single party state, democrats control everything and corruption is rampant.

Not a repubtard, just saying any state that has one party with that much power is bad.

But is it really my fault? Seeing how people react to my petty antics is nothing short of comical every time, but they're the ones who don't just shrug it off. If they did it'd be a different story and we could all be in on the joke but they don't and technically it's their problem, not mine. If I have a problem for causing negativity, they have a problem of equal measure for letting themselves be so emotionally distressed over a game, don't you think?

Just make any game with purchases like this automatically rated AO. Everyone should be satisfied with that.

>70k people out of over a million
I mean there's a lot there but that's not all that impressive

ESRB won't do that by themselves and the government probably won't force them to do that since the whole point of the ESRB was to avoid government regulation. I do agree that it would be the best middle ground option though.

>Belgium
Fake news, it's just more hot air blowing. As I've said before: NOTHING has been passed and never will be, it's all just meaningless wordswordswords from politicians trying to earn political good boy points.

>Belgian news outlet RTBF noted (Google translated version) that The Belgian Gaming Commission has not finalized its decision on whether loot boxes are gambling; the statement from its report about how “the mixing of money and addiction is gambling” is indicative of the intention of the investigation into the matter, and not its conclusion.

thenextweb.com/gaming/2017/11/22/belgium-loot-boxes-gambling/

Meanwhile, Denmark's gambling commission has officially declared that lootboxes are not gambling, AHAHAHAHA.

WE DID IT REDDIT! EA IS FINISHED!

We won't let EA get away with this!

>mfw I grew up in the golden age of gaming
>too old to really care about the politics of it all
>start to feel bad for the kids on here that they missed the best years in gaming

Keep you heads up, guys. That or just go back to playing on the original Xbox and every console before then.

Imagine being like this

Why are you looking up the yearly stocks instead of monthly? BF2 hasn't even been out for 1 quarter.

Fucking pathetic.

then western AAA devs will charge you for online contents. lootboxes are garbage but at the same time games dont have so many ways to make money

huh that's weird user, why does this other belgian news site say they've ruled it as such?

so that's 1 "no" to 2 "yes". mmmm seems like you're in the minority and losing, user

>LOOTBOXES MUST BE REGULATED FOR THE GOOD OF THE AMORLICUHN PPL

Drowning in rupees, though.

holy fuck

I sure hope games make money

bin the knife

Fuck you. Just fuck you, you dumb fucking gamer piece of shit. WE WILL NOT ALLOW LOOTBOXES TO BE BANNED. PERIOD.

retard

Not at all. They paid for a product to bring them joy. They didn't pay to have their fun ruined. You say "It's just a game", but it is also an experience.
You are purposely making them have a negative experience and your reasoning is it's their fault for being capable of experiencing negativity.

damage control

>They have enough money to tank several failed attempts

Negative, ghostrider. Unlike many Japanese vidya companies that tend to balance their portfolio with more risk-adverse investment strategies that allow them to hold onto a wealth of surplus finances and assets to survive a disaster scenario, EA almost certainly has amassed more debt than assets like any true red-blooded American company to keep the money flowing in an ever-growing scale. What's kept a company like EA going and growing even during past failures is their ability to convince investors in their success in inventing and raking in revenue through slowly conditioning their target audience to accept increasingly invasive forms of in-game transactions that yield larger returns on investment than simply "selling a hit." It's worked, too, and their impressive stock growth since the 2008 downturn reflects that despite being universally despised and publicly shamed on a constant basis.

If and when this fails, either through legislation or through their target audience losing interest and moving to something else (as being seen right now on mobile platforms that are digging to the bottom of the barrel by targeting literal infants), most of the industry will come crashing down with it (thankfully).

>Surprised when governments try to regulate things to get more money

Funny how the conservative states have lower IQs :^)

I bet you couldn't even define socialism or capitalism without using the same tired memes that everyone else uses.

that's what happens when niggers live there because they were former slave states therefore bringing down the average IQ. however, white people from conservative states are remarkably higher in IQ than white people from liberal states.

>anti-capitalist
Try anti-predatory
Those laws are there to stop companies to sell you soda as a cure for cancer

Hawaii always does this with new 'problems" and ends up screwing themselves in the long run. Bitcoin is another good example. That small of an island doesn't have enough customers for anyone to care like they think people will.

capitalism should be predatory. the strong survive and thrive, the weak are weeded out.
