US Senate is reviewing a bill, which would ban loot box systems from video games. The wording of the bill, however, has drawn significant criticism as it contains numerous “inaccuracies” and fails to represent “how video games work” which would lead to many video game consumers and producers in America to suffer significantly. Those who propose the bill have stated that the intent is to eliminate predatory sale tactics aimed towards minors; yet the current state of the bill proves very vague on the specifics of what kind of games would be affected, leaving too much room for interpretation and ignoring established guidelines for age demographic marketing.
