About 20 years ago I've stopped buying cardpacks (had quite a few, Pokémon even) because I've realized that while I like collecting them, aside from it being borderline meaningless I just spend more and more to get the rarer cards and cannot buy less since that becomes inefficient fast. So... I stopped altogether because as a wee lad I've realized that I'm too weak against that. <br><br><br><br>So yes, in my eyes, these card packs and similar things are all gambling and should go away / be restricted or at the very fukin' least recognized as something not healthy for kids (alongside energy drinks :) ).,(reply>), At the very least, at least your cards have genuine, intrinsic value. Some you can even sell and recoup your costs to some degree. These games? Absolutely useless at the end of the day
