Nothing about taxes is ever free, they are mutually exclusive terms. It's how much government theft can you deny.

Here is the source video time stamped. Cruz surprisingly knows a lot or was coached well by staffers about this.

The guy talking to Ted Cruz is a condescending prick. I think Ted Cruz is at least being, or trying to appear to be, genuine. The talk show guy may be trying to appeal to an older crowd with Donkey Kong and Pac Man references, but even my grandfather was at least aware of big titles. You have to live under a fucking rock to avoid advertisements for some games, especially mobile games like Raid.

Asmongold is definitely going to use “for the kids”angle and say how gambling can be bad for children. Granted thats not his actual reason why but it’s probably the best argument he can provide. He doesn’t want to see loot boxes in PC gaming at all and he could care less if it’s in mobile games. I hope something positive comes out of it but I don’t think it will stop loot boxes. They will probably make the game 18+ years of age.

Realistically, nothing will happen to loot boxes. No one in DC has the brass or the brains to change anything for the better. If by some miracle loot boxes were banned, companies would simply sell the items outright without any RNG involved.

Nah it doesn’t work like that. It seems 5k is a pretty reasonable average I’d guess for a five star. Nobody (or extremely few) people are buying a gem marked at 5k in the shop but those same rubes will pump endlessly in the slot machine for a shot at one.

This right here. A lot easier for dumb asses to talk themselves into spending $25 bucks, get pissed that they got shit on and talk themselves into spending another $25 all within a few minutes. Versus spending $49.99 all at once.

So it's earned 24 million, with 210 million of that being in the first 24 hours?
And it's bad that a Diablo 3 skin on Chinese mobile game made only that much?
This twitter guy is retarded.

Fair enough on that point, didn't see the numerals.
So a cheap mobile port earned 10% of that? They must be devestated.
