Love the joke, hope it stays a joke.

For context, he made this joke because PEGI rated the game 18+ recently

If lootboxes as they are done now can give someone an addiction to gambling, surely they could also be done in a way that stops addiction. Like maybe the game comes with a thing you attach to your genitals and every time you attempt to gamble on a lootbox, or shocks the shit outta you.

Because consoles would never have things that attach to your genitals.*

This is a trailer for NBA 2k20, that shows more gambling content than actual gameplay.

True, I find that one a pain to work around since you gotta continually ‘eat’ jokers… gets worse with eternals too
