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

    The top comment is:

    Hey 2k, theres a basketball minigame in your gambling simulator, can you fix it please?…

      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.*

          *(Rez doesn’t count as it wasn’t intended for the genitals)
