That's a cute way for them to dodge having to put a gambling label on the box forcing it into the m-rated category.

ESRB has always been a lobbyist group for AAA publisher CEOs, why are we surprised by this.

This doesnt matter

Publishers typically patch in these systems at a later date

Lootboxes and IAP should be automatic AO rating, simply because children don't have credit cards.

Yep and it takes a lot (like the hot coffee scandal) to get them to consider changing it after release. Makes me wonder if you could get away with releasing official nude and sex mods and keep the original rating.

The hot coffee scandal made them act because lawmakers threatened to do something about it.

There's been a few people talking about it but all the threats / proposed legislation so far has been toothless

we dont have a bible thumping politician ranting about how its exposing our kids to SEX this time. all the gambling crap does is teach kids early to waste money on stupid shit and keep sacrificing to capitalism, perfectly fine to your every day bible thumping crazy...
