Can't agree more, and it will be most helpful if the lab can provide more transparency on its legal challenges so that perhaps community together can find a solution by making adjustments? I don't like to gamble, but in real life there are a lot of serious and legal transactions much much larger than 75L where chances are involved and that adults just have to assess risks and decide to participate or not and be responsible for their own decisions. I am not suggesting gambling is the issue here, as I am not clear what it means by 'change of regulatory climate...'.
My other opinion is that I do not want my decision on what I buy/participate to be taken away because some people get addicted to something. I shiver when I see many comments like that here. LL is a private company providing such wonderful platform to us and, have their rights to decide what services to offer to their customers. However, I do not want people to decide for me based on what they think is good or bad for ME. Those are the job of the parents and love ones who are there to protect people who cannot control themselves, or intellectually or emotionally weaker than normal adults. IMHO, we should not overload LL on moral responsibilities, those should be left alone for adult players to decide. I will be very sad if someone decided to take away my jar of peanut butter or stop me from using my physics at strip clubs because feeling good itself is addictive and therefore not good for me. Most civilized countries put warning labels to alert people about harm and side effects, or require 18+ to access but not to ban, because they know people will be sad and angry if you take away their fun suddenly.
Finally, I don't play gacha a lot, but I had fun with it. The scheme motivates creators to make many beautiful and fun things. If Ebbe is still around, I think he would agree too. Now I realize much was done in the background, just to let us have fun. Miss him and feeling sad...
