If lootboxes as they are done now can give someone an addiction to gambling, surely they could also be done in a way that stops addiction. Like maybe the game comes with a thing you attach to your genitals and every time you attempt to gamble on a lootbox, or shocks the shit outta you.

This is a trailer for NBA 2k20, that shows more gambling content than actual gameplay.
The top comment is:
Jesus, your comment really under sells just how bad that was. That trailer is 95% gambling. That’s nuts lol.

I knew where am I before even cheking. 🫶
Because consoles would never have things that attach to your genitals.*
*(Rez doesn’t count as it wasn’t intended for the genitals)
Doing it on the couch with friends just feels different, you understand.
I get the feeling this might just make the gamblers gain a new fetish
That thumbnail is right before this person loses the game, lol. Them jokers are trash.
Unless that knife has a lot of mult
True, I find that one a pain to work around since you gotta continually ‘eat’ jokers… gets worse with eternals too
And they didn’t even bother playing their planet card.
There is a voucher that makes each planet card for the hand played give 1.5 * mult
Those aren’t gambling. they’re surprise mechanics that are ethical and fun.
LMAO! Good one!
