Videogames Industry forms coalition to fight lootcrate crisis.
- Thread starter Axisofweevils
- Start date
Personally I like the proposed title "month old video game discussion board does better fact finding than gamasutra"
"We once casually talked about how cool it would be to make a games policy thingy. In hindsight, maybe we didn't put enough thought into this"
Anyway, let's all breath a sigh of relief that this turned out to be some impotent half-baked chat-group masquerading as a Think Tank, instead of being the Gaming NRA.
Now to get back to praying that the past two weeks doesn't turn the ESA into a GOP Super-PAC. If that happens it's Indie Games for Life for me, and only unrated ones at that.

Gamasutra doesn't do fact finding on the press releases it publishes via Gamespress. This is noted in every press release published on the site:

Well thats not exactly what I expected.
And yet... somehow I am not surprised.
Watch this group get invited to EA to discuss lootcrates and come out full of ea swag claiming that after a long meeting and debates they have come to the conclusion that there is nothing wrong with lootcrates.
That logo is weirdly off-center, gives me a headache. Also, they just cut it out with a screencapture tool to use it on Twitter.
Lets give all our support and confidence to this self-appointed unknown group, made by undisclosed people guys, I mean what's worst it can happen?

(Just good enough to get a moon!)
Jesus
Launch this shit into the sun
Can confirm. Got a few emails from him before until I added a filter for BSM that goes straight to trash.
He also randomly follows me on social media then unfollows a day or two later when I don't follow him back. He's done that a few dozen times already (no joke, I lost count). I think there's another at BSM that did the same with me, just not as often. No thanks.

too much space at the top of the wording so it gives a large amount of gray space at the top while leaving less at the bottom, all around not centered or framed correctly
Dunno if this has been posted, but Jim Sterling has a video up on this. Pretty much just the same sentiment as in this thread. It seems shady AF

But gamers are under fire. The big bad government is coming to take away your loot boxes. You don't want Trump to steal your Mercy skins, do you gamers?
I'm also setting up a lobby group/ think tank called the INGC or the 'It's Not Gambling Commission'.
Our goal is to spread loot boxes into normal everyday life until people let the games industry do what they want.
The first demographic we are targeting are children and school meals. The idea is to have a random assortment of loot boxes or 'lunch boxes' as they will be called that children can buy. If they dislike or don't want what comes in their random lunch box they can just buy another until they do. Of course all lunch boxes must be bought with prepaid credits but if you spend more on credits you get better value!
Our group will be run by top people.

Or, we could agree that anyone who took a few minutes to read up on this instead of getting up in arms over a headline would realise that none of these companies and people involved have anything to do with Battlefront 2, or other AAA games.
Also, the ESA already exists as a industry interest group in the US for the AAA industry, which somehow most people seem to ignore in here.
No, because they never actually read anything beyond the title (which is deceptive as hell).
That's not going to change just because we can now definitively say this is bunk.
Oh shit guys.

There was a group of game-playing folks going by the name of "Don't Blame Games" several years ago. I met them at an e3.
I'm not sure how that's relevant, except that it sounds like these guys took their idea just a step further. They never attempted to create an industry watch group, though.

Annnd that tells us about all we know to need.
