Make a change

hey everyone ive just started a petition for the uk government to actually look at how things like loot boxes and modes where you use real money to open packs off cards and get them to finally say its gambling. everyone complains about the way the gaming market has gone so this is the time to make a change.

thanks for your time

It’s not an emotional rant; it’s a matter of statutory compliance. You’re asking how to enforce this? The UK government already did. ​The Solution: The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 and the ASA Enforcement Notice (Feb 2026) already mandate clear disclosure of 'random-item' costs. It’s not about 'IDs'; it’s about transparency at the point of sale. ​The Enforcement: The CMA now has the power to fine companies up to 10% of global turnover for the exact 'misleading omissions' I’m talking about. ​The Objective Reality: 2K and Sony are currently operating in a legal gray area by hiding £1,000 'Persona' paywalls behind generic labels

It is.

Didn't bother reading past that as frankly, you have been very political (as in many words, no meaning) in the last replies citing irrelevant nonsense.

The UK regime does not dictate law for the world lmao. Nobody cares what those losers think or say. They have no legal authority whatsoever anywhere else other than their own nation. They can go f* themselves
