The order comes from Landesgericht für Zivilrechtssachen Wien, which is a regional court in Vienna. The court ruled that these loot boxes violate gambling laws. However, this is a standalone decision, and has no wider impact on the country’s legal position on loot boxes.
In Austria, civil cases are taken on a case-by-case basis, and the courts are not bound by previous decisions.
Spending too much time with games or internet either implies serious problems the person is trying to escape from, or a lack of alternative activities. Trying to force the people to stop won’t do anything, the goal should be to make it so people don’t feel the need to rely on these two as much.
If someone is bored they will just move to the next most dopaminergic activity, I would know I stopped playing all games one year at university and all I managed to do is read a bunch of books namely 2000 chapter Chinese xianxia novels. Me deciding to purely grind schoolwork was the thing that actually had any impact.
Nobody seems to be saying this, but a 16yo playing 2hrs or more any day is ok and their choice. Making anyone under 18 only allowed to play 1hr a week is overly controlling and uncompromising - much like the rest of China’s policies.
And probably not as high quality. The voice acting in thsi game is a 10/10. I doubt that, to put my own languages, it would be nearly as good in Spanish.
I’ve ran into some conversations were some of the characters lines noticeably sound like they’re recorded from a different mic/in a different studio. Other than that it has been nice to have so much of the game voiced.
That is not what Sweetbaby Inc. does… You should get your women hating dumb ass back to the sewer communities on reddit. Where you can collectively rage at the imaginary boogyman that is coming for your games.
Call of Duty Warzone already has in-game video. When you’re dead, you watch your teammate play until they can revive you. You see through their eyes and can talk to them.
in csgo one was able to watch almost anybody playing. Waiting for your friends to finish their match? Just watch without any hassle. Want to spectate one of your random friends? Sure. Sadly the feature has been completely absent since the publishing of cs2.
Gaming is not the most refined form of play. The most refined form of play is unstructured, spontaneous, and uses imagination. Gaming is the opposite of that. It is essentially a grim struggle to perform at one’s best in a 100% defined environment and ruleset.
I’m a gamer. Mad respect for gaming. I use it to achieve flow and improve the precision and skill of my brain.
But I don’t really consider it “playing” in the sense that puppies and little kids play.
PS+ I want to play online, I like getting the free games, I need cloud storage for saves.
I’m also on PC and realize two of those three are free. I’m willing to pay on PS because the couch experience is so, so, so much better than PC could ever be, no matter how many times PC creeps screech at me that I’m wrong.
