Gacha = Loot Box = Unregulated Gambling easily accessible by Children...

This is definitely a good step for "The Human Race" and gaming in general but I still don't want them to kill FGO.

What I mean by "good for the Human Race" is that Gacha/Lootbox/Gambling takes advantage of flaws in the human brain making it a financially sound business. However, its the same as selling an addictive substance that isn't unhealthy/harmful to children. Just because it isn't directly harmful doesn't make it "morally good", so regulating it is accepting that it's morally questionable.

The argument can be made that people are smart enough to understand the risks of gambling and should be able to take responsibility for choosing to buy Lootboxes. But about 50% of the human race has below average intelligence, some people are also naturally more susceptible to addictions than others.

I'm also not saying Lootboxes/Gacha should be illegal, I'm just saying the risks should be explained to children and ignorant people similar to tobacco warnings. Or ideally regulate it properly because theoretically it's a great way to support game companies who lose a lot of money getting pirated.
