Thanks for the laugh.
I get what you mean, but don‘t you think this is just a [i]tiny[/i], an [i]itsy-bitsy[/i] exaggeration of a problem, that has like no impact on the world?
The way you are portraying this problem is going a tad too far.

The state's are already going after EA over loot boxes as they are a form of gambling that locks content... and the States are winning
-
I too am frustrated about lootboxes, but it is such an insignificant matter compared to others.
-
Except that the are facing and loosing multiple lawsuits as it is a form of gambling for content
-
I‘m just saying: - This controversy is being over-exaggerated. - There are more pressing matters we must attend to.

Is it being over exaggerated when over half of the profits for the company comes from the loot box system? Is it less pressing that instead of hiring for the live team or DLC teams the are hiring for more people into designing the loot box systems? Is it over exaggerating when companies doing similar things are being federally investigated for the games being designed to sell more loot boxes and locking content behind them? Is it less pressing when after a few weeks after a DLC where more than 100 items where added to Eververse we get a new "free" event where almost everything is locked behind special Eververse boxes that are only a limited time offer and capped?

Look, this is literally a debate about random armor pieces in a game. Will war break out if an item in a game is locked behind a rng-paywall? Probably not. I appreciate your constructive responses, but this is a debate that simply isn‘t worth fighting.

Except it's not just cosmetics. All the exotic sparrows, all the exotic ships, exotic ghost, and the armor sets are also locking game lore behind paywalls. So far for the dawning there is only one thing that is not dependant on a loot box and that is the sword... that's. It.

The problem with that statement is that you can‘t „lock out“ lore. In a way, you can see it in the preview, you could technically write it down or just save it. You can‘t really equip that lore. You don‘t wear the item because of the text written in its lore tab, you wear it because of the looks/stats. The lore is there for everyone to see, and since the lore itself isn‘t a piece of armor or a weapon, then it really isn‘t locked out.

I want to be a father one day, and I dont want my kids getting addicted to gambling

Then wouldn't that be your job to teach them that? As a parent, it is their job to teach their children about life and what not to do in it, then when they get older they choose what they will and will not do.
