Publishers might <i>try</i> to pass on a retail price increase if predatory monetisation practices like loot boxes are outlawed... that doesn't mean we're going to swollow it. Most didn't swollow loot boxes, we won't swallow an unfair price increase. Publishers don't <b><i>need</i></b> predatory additional monetisation strategies in their games to survive &amp; profit year on year. That's complete bullshit. I've said this before &amp; I'll say it again. The job losses, should publishers/developers fail as a result of anti-consumer practices being legislated against &amp;/or pushed back on by consumers, I put down to "growing pains" of an industry in dire need of change &amp; regulation where self-regulation is repeatedly refused. This was inevitable. They only have themselves to blame.
