Rekomenduojami pranešimai

Karas kaip ir vyksta, bet fronte nieko naujo. Kai pagalvoji kas per metus pasikeite del Transakciju.. Turbut nelabai kas. Pinigai zmoniu ir toliau sekmingai leidziami. Bent jau gerai, kad ne visuose zaidimuose naglai yra kisama, kad uz piniga tu gali gauti kazka geriau nei iprastas zaidejas. Imant kaip pavyzdi koki tai World of Tanks kuris yra uz dyka, bet tuo paciu pinigus moka isgauti.

 

Nemanau, kad kazkas noretu zaisti zaidima kai tuo tarpu priesininkas, investaves tikrus pinigus, butu visa galva nenaturaliai pranasesnis. Jeigu dar zaidimo metu atskirtu tai taip, bet kai sumeta i viena kruva tai tada jau ne kas.

 

Aisku del to ir zmones kalti. Jie ir toliau sekmingai perka DLC ar Skinus. Ar net paslaugas, kad koks XP greiciau pakiltu.

 

FTC pledges loot crate investigation

The Federal Trade Commission today agreed to investigate video game loot boxes, following an official request by Senator Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.).

In a Congressional oversight committee hearing earlier today, FTC chairman Joe Simons affirmed Sen. Hassan’s request that loot boxes be investigated. The exchange took place in a Senate Commerce subcommittee hearing that was mainly focused on data privacy issues, but which ranged into other territories.

“Loot boxes are now endemic in the video game industry and are present in everything from casual smart phone games to the newest, high budget releases,” said Hassan, adding that loot boxes will “represent a $50 billion industry by the year 2022,” likely referring to a report earlier this year from Juniper Research.

Games publishers often include loot boxes in their games, which offer in-game boosts and prizes, sometimes at a cost. The practice has flourished in recent years, particularly following enormous success in games like the FIFA series, but it has also been met with consumer resistance in the past year. In 2017, Electronic Arts retooled Star Wars Battlefront 2 following accusations that the game was designed around extracting cash from players through loot crates.

Hassan warned that children are particularly susceptible to loot boxes, and that they represent a “close link” to gambling. She pointed to moves in other countries, including Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium, to bring in legislation to control the use of video game loot boxes. Last year, Reps. Chris Lee and Sean Quinlan held a news conference in Hawaii that assailed loot crates for preying on children.

Earlier this year, Senator Hassan wrote to the Entertainment Software Rating Board to ask how games with loot boxes are rated. The ESRB later added an “in-game purchases” label to games that include loot crates.

“It’s time for the FTC to investigate these mechanisms to ensure that children are being adequately protected,” said Hassan. “And to educate parents about potential addiction and other negative impacts of these games. She asked Simons if the FTC will investigate further and “report back.” Simons offered a simple “yes”.

Polygon has requested comment from the Entertainment Software Association, which represents the government-level interests of games publishers.

Update: The ESA sent us the following statement: “Loot boxes are one way that players can enhance the experience that video games offer. Contrary to assertions, loot boxes are not gambling. They have no real-world value, players always receive something that enhances their experience, and they are entirely optional to purchase. They can enhance the experience for those who choose to use them, but have no impact on those who do not.”

Aš tokios nuomonės jei žaidimą nusipirki tada jokių tokių pinigų lupikavimo, o jei už dyką na tada aišku galima jau daryti kad gautų pelną už žaidimą. Tik tame irgi reikia turėti prota.
