I'm not quite sure what the difference is that would make one gambling and the other not gambling. Yes and no The big argument i have been hearing, with TCG you are getting something physical, so it inherently has value, while something that is digital has no real world value. Also, the market sets the price of each card in the pack, not the manufacture. When you buy loot boxes, you are essentially gambling on things have have no value outside of the game, if at all, and if they have any in game value, that value is set by the publisher. --- The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him. They're all complacent sheeple. Passion fights, but reason wins. <cite>DarkKirby2500 posted [p:890521447] in So congres...
