I'm sure Disney will be thrilled to hear Star Wars equated to Joe Camel.

In fairness, there are several mobile Marvel games with loot boxes that might fall foul of this too, depending on whether they plan to hit F2P stuff as well.

Then we might start hearing Disney equated with Joe Camel instead.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

As a hard right wing extremist, I'm pleased that I can find some common ground with the Democrats on this issue. Also:

Loot boxes, as implemented in many games, are a Hobson's choice.

There are *tons* of games that have been implementing this since Blizzard perfected it in Hearthstone and Overwatch. Most of them won't suffer public backlash in particular even if they are affected by legislation. Star Wars is just because Battlefront 2 is so big and widely publicized about it.

It's hilarious that Star Wars was the game that pushed it too far and ruined it for everyone.

Of course you can, what's that saying about bipartisanship being when the stupid party and the evil party get together to do something that is both stupid AND evil?

They should be allowed to put loot boxes in games if they want. Just make the rating AO.
