Love the joke, hope it stays a joke.
For context, he made this joke because PEGI rated the game 18+ recently
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.
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.

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 was expecting you to be exadurating, but its mostly just... cards cards cards.
Those aren't gambling. they're surprise mechanics that are ethical and fun.
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
LMAO! Good one!
