Dumb dumb dumb. Bigger govt, more laws... crap that's not needed but stupid people want to spend money on micro transactions. Now our tax dollar are going to pay for dumb officials that feel a need to get some articles written about them for a little bit of fame because people are stupid and need the govt to tell them what to do and make laws around it. Stupidity all around.
The only reason government intervenes in these things is because companies are dishonest, and either get lazy or deliberately greedy. Back in the day they would sell a container of meat or dairy, and it would be adulterated or some other completely different product, thus requiring regulation.
Now people won't get sick or die off a mislabeled video game but if people pay x amount for a product (a more or less complete game) they should get the product.
I don't mind DLC if you have a good base experience to work with, but when most of a game is that, it's ridiculous.
It's very cynical that some games are now like casinos, where they know that most people will drop a bit of money and time, but their main targets are the "whales" who will drop a ton of time and money on making the whole thing profitable. A game's plot is made up of stimulus reward, repeat and rinse, but was it ever intended to go on indefinitely?
I miss the days when you'd get a reliable game right out of the box, but that's another discussion. Seeing some games go to launch, and eventually abandoned by their makers without even getting patched properly makes me want to game less and less.
