Bill to ban Loot boxes and pay-to-win micro transactions

[Almighty_hebers]

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley will be introducing a bill to ban loot boxes and pay-to-win micro-transactions to the US senate in the coming days. Regardless of what you think of the newly elected senator, this conversation needs to happen in the US.

Personally I can get behind this because I think some of those things are getting far to predatory *cough cough EA cough cough*. Thoughts?
