With Loot boxes being illegal under Belgium law... What will happen to Gacha's?

[Coffee Pancake]

The number of cards you get in a pack is set, X commons, Y uncommon, Z rares and so on .. but there is no published data as to the actual odds of any particular card and some are significantly more rare than others.

Yeah that's what I mean. Actualy percentages should be mandatory.

That law was made more for the big gaming companies. They aren't gonna look at our sorry butts.

Exactly, its very paranoid to think otherwise.

To me the biggest issue with gachas is that the machines do not state what the odds are, that in itself is basically dishonest.

Yes they do..if you edit the box it shows the cost and percentage of rare, ultra rare and super rare, if used. 

i realize that is a hover tip but the info is the same. the description box has that info. The first number is the cost, the second is the rarity percentage.

That is very good to know! But it really depends on the model of the machine, not all of them expose configuration elements in the description field to the user like this.

It's quite amazing that I see so many paralells to this popular youtuber in Japan playing...  Real Life Cat Hat Gatcha.

Gatchas are unlikely to be affected...as they generate a hell of a lot of money for everyone concerned excpet the player.

Sorry did i say player?

 

...I meant piggy bank

What's more appropriate, to say that this post did or didn't age well?

I notice this necro kinda predicted the future of gatchas.

Link to the current proper thread should a Mod secure this one:

I'm going to go ahead and close this smelly thread since it's quite old, and there are other current threads available to discuss the current state of affairs involving Gachas.
