Games with loot boxes and other "paid random items" re-rated PEGI 16 as new rules come into force, hopefully cutting down on kids gambling somewhat (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

On a more serious note, in your world, what are kids with shitty parents supposed to do?

They are not supposed to do anything and I never said that. That is part of kid agencies to individually detect and combat these things.

Isn't it a little bit of society's responsibility to ensure that it isn't easy for kids aren't chasing the next big win?

Oh Mr Politican don't give me the "Think about the children" talk with no other practical solution then introducing a surveilance state.

Totally stupid idea that the Netherlands implemented a decade ago: (paid) Lootboxes are illegal in the first place. Problem magically solved because guess what: No "gambling" in the first place.
