Has anyone else seen this?
This week EA & Epic were speaking to a UK parliamentary panel to discuss their loot boxes (not a court case, just a hearing) and it's appalling.
Some of the nonsense to come out their mouths include:
"We don't call them Loot Boxes, they're Surprise Mechanics"
There have been some hilarious meme-worthy things in the world, but this has got to be right up there with one of the best. Funnily how as little as two weeks ago EA themselves said 'no loot boxes in Jedi Fallen Order' yet now they're in front of parliament the name has suspiciously changed.
"We disagree with the evidence that 'Surprise Mechanics' leads to gambling problems"
You can't 'disagree' with the evidence - because it's evidence!
"I don't think it's possible to spend £1600 on Loot Boxes in a day"
................just..... oh my god....
"We class frequent players as people who play out game twice every 30 days"
............................................
For anyone interested, this is the live full 15min video, followed by articles on it or youtube videos if you prefer.
