I am very fearful about any kind of goverment regulation as well and, in an ideal world, the gaming industry would self-regulate. But, in this horible reality we live in, that will never happen.<br>The best we can hope for is that whatever restrictions the government applies begin and end with "stop pay-to-win and lootboxes". Hopefully they don't start reaching for more power where they shouldn't and ruin other aspects of gaming.<br><br>As far as the financial hit on these companies' bottom line goes, I really don't feel any sympathy for them whatsoever. They built their entire business on the foundation of exploitative monetization and the reduction of the quality of their games for the psychological manipulation of their customers. They deserve to fail.<br>I WANT publishers to try stuffing their products full of unskipppable ads and see if the public will reject the idea or keep gobbling it up like they currently do with lootboxes and pay-to-win. If customers continue to accept the unnacceptable we'll know we're well and truly fucked.
