lootboxes should be launched into the sun along with any company that peddals them.

Keep them only as cosmetic things and only bought with in game currency without an option to buy the currency with real money.

Bans gambling streams, except for sports betting which is okay because Amazon has a deal with companies that do that.

It's not a blanket ban on gambling. It's specifically streaming certain international sites that lack consumer protection. Basically the streamers would refer people to the sites outside of Twitch's ability to block referrals. So now these sites can't be streamed at all. Doesn't apply to all forms of gambling. Not sure if there are sites for slots, dice, etc. in the US or with sufficient vetting that will be allowed.

They didn't make it its own thing to rake in the cash? Wild

They kinda did actually

They only banned websites that don't offer consumer protections, which is almost worthless.

The way it should be:

Random chance loot boxes should only be purchased by in-game/free to play currency.

Specific, selectable items should be available for real money.

Expecting kids to gamble with real money for a chance at a cool item they want is blatantly predatory.
