Video Game Loot Boxes Should Be Illegal
I completely agree with Braeden Kelly in their article “Video Game Loot Boxes Should Be Illegal”. Children are being exposed to gambling through certain video games. My younger brother, for example, knows how to download game apps and has downloaded many games. One of them is known as “Roblox” in which you have to spend money to get skins. His friend is the one who spends her parents money whenever she’s at our house. My brother doesn't spend money because as Braeden said, “kids have no concept of money...lead[ing] them to spend their own (or their parent’s) money”. He claims that he has money but in reality it is our parents money. Therefore, we don’t let my brother buy anything otherwise he will buy many things like the kid in the article. Thank you, Braeden for giving your insights on loot boxes and how they affect kids and gambling problems.
