Reminder: Fuck Woolie for shitting on Code Geass without even seeing it

OnlyThePurpleFruitLoops Wow, really? Where did he say that? One of the podcasts? Sounds like one of those Hunter x Hunter things where he judges it preemptively.

He and Pat were talking about anime. Video's called: The worst looking shounen protagonist. AND PAT SHITS ON GON'S DESIGN. FUCK PAT TOO

I also think Gon looks like shit. But yeah Code Geass has pretty decent design

Gon looks cool without his jacket. I like the white undershirt look. It works.

Retail and Fast food are the most cursed jobs an american teenager can work. So basically 90% of all jobs available for teenagers now days...

EA was the kid who flooded the bathroom by turning all the handles on and leaving them running and having them being replaced with the shit timed ones

EA is the kid who passed test question answers around his clique of friends and got caught, so everyone has to do another test

EA is the kid who started a fight over trading cards and then the school bans them.

Nate Not only is the game not selling but it also made EA lose 3 billion dollars in stock value. Something tells me Disney won't renew the Star Wars license with them. www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/11/28/eas-day-of-reckoning-is-here-after-star-wars-game-uproar.html

That's delicious

never have I derived such joy from seeing a game company fail.

LOOOOOOOOOL. I wonder how much they sold over all

Ivan Avendano you know if loot boxes become gambling, games won’t do it nearly as much, right?

JackH_ No, I agree that lootboxes are shitty and need to go, what I'm referring to is what they talked about in this segment, games not releasing in certain territories because of restrictions, American versions of games still retaining the gambling aspects while they're gone in other regions, ect.

Shadic4101 Lootboxes are worse versions of slot machines, with slot machines you can at least win something of value but in lootboxes you just "win" a virtually inexpensive line of code.

You're literally a fuckin moron

how

its a slot machine with only one spinning slot instead of 3.

I would say the spinning slots is the RGN. You COULD get some good stuff but 9 times out of 10 it's garbage

Phearo G the original statement was from the belgium representative, what do they speak like german or dutch or something?

Jayness belgium would speak french and german most likely, but europe is so interconnected that they probably speak many languages.

I swear to god, if Pokemon gets banned because if this, I'm putting EA on the naughty step _indefinatley._

MrJade12 depends on what kind of gaming you're looking at. i believe the americas are the largest console market, asia is the largest mobile market, which leaves europe being the largest PC market. and of course, if you're not in one of those markets, it means you're in the largest portion of the games market, the black market.

Baronvonkame every time i go to the bank, it's the same question. "you want a credit card?" and the response is clockwork, "do not give me free money. that will end poorly." still, at least i have enough self-control to avoid.... _this._

Sam Lucas You do realize that kids can still buy PSN or Xbox Live gift cards right?

It's still them spending the money though.

Yeah but it won't be as much as $500 all at once. (at least most of the time)

Certus Indago Not at once but overtime their addiction to lootboxes grows and keep spending and spending their allowances or money their parents give them in lootboxes.

Funny how that works …

Abdega i mean, aren't you shocked the UN has never stepped in on syria despite their numerous human rights violations? oh, what's that? syria's head of the human rights council to the UN? seriously, why do we appoint known assholes to the boards meant to keep known assholes in line?

the chair is back, but renji won pat has many problems, and as far as i know, canada has mostly stayed out of this so far, so not yet.

Yes, actually.

heroes of the storm too. if it wasn't randomly generated, he wouldn't have bought nearly as much. he just loves opening boxes. it's like christmas but you don't have to see your extended family.

Solaire OfAstora To be fair, his audience gave him money in that instance to be a garbage person.

Hendrixian95 Nothing as people are not concerned about them so they will be treated as if they are in the grey area. Now if people complained that would make things different.

Trading card packs are I believe legally treated as each card in the pack having equivalent monetary value or something before being opened. It's only afterwards where the secondary market and supply and demand create a different value for each card.

With booster packs and toys, you're buying cards and toys. With lootboxes, you're paying for access to random lines of code you have already purchased.

I was too lazy to edit it out.

Joshua Cochran the secondary market makes people able to buy the exact card they want

Josh Bouman that's because australia is a land of three things, crime, alcohol and sudden traumatic death. so, fuck it, have fun while you can, you won't be around long. here in good old canada-land, death is usually quite slow because you froze to death, so there's less incentive for the government to let you have fun. and of course, quebec's constant war with the rest of the country has them a little on edge, so nobody is allowed to have fun unless it's good, wholesome, catholic, and most importantly, _french._

I don't mean to burst your bubble or anything but Australians tend to talk up how "dangerous" it is here to get a laugh out of tourists. All the scary stuff is in that uninhabitable wasteland known as the outback, no one actually lives out there. At best you'll go home with alcohol poisoning and a nasty sunburn, where as it got down to 10c here once and I was afraid I was going to freeze to death. Canada sounds a lot scarier to me.

Josh Bouman let me ask you a question, do you think people routinely freeze to death in canada? i've walked through -30°C weather, and while it wasn't fun, if you're wearing the proper clothing you're perfectly fine. do you think i might be exaggerating the danger for the purpose of a joke? i've been to australia. it's fine. avoid the known box jellyfish spots, don't wander into the bush alone and if you see a spider, maybe leave it alone, you'll be fine. also, the only part that wasn't exaggerated is the relationship between quebec and everyone else. "cold war" would be an apt description, as would "mutual backstab". they're really not happy with "english style rule".

animeshowfan I bet you'll have to use in game currency to buy the skin

it depends on the kind of ruling, what loopholes are allowed, etc. it's possible that games that currently exist, as of the date the law takes effect, may be allowed to maintain their practices, but will be restricted to sale for adults. it's possible that those games will be grandfathered in, meaning you can't be punished for having it because it wasn't illegal when you got it. or, they may be forced to undergo an overhaul and change their monetization strategies. it really depends on what the law says.

zann williams maybe extreme regulation does have its place?

That's funny. You think giving it a different rating will make people not buy those games for their kids.

ChillTerumi That's what they're there for, if parents decide not to use it or deem it's fine for their kids it's on them.

That's what they're their for, but parents will still buy Gears of War for their 12 year olds.

The latter is basically the mark of death, as pretty much no store will carry them.

AzureBeats the invention of safety glass and friction matches were both accidents, so yes.

Yes, booster packs are gambling and engineered specifically for that purpose.

IRVEE You are spending money on a probabilistic outcome, it’s pretty much the textbook definition of gambling.

I don't think so. Afaik you just get skins, and can't officially trade them for money or other skins, so it's in the grey area.

SuperStingray are yugioh cards gambling then?
