Yes we were given presents, you know FREE stuff every Christmas. This entire article, if you read it, applies to gambling within video games for real money and particularly underaged gambling…🙄 ---

Laws??? The one senator punted to ESRP and even if she wanted to actually do anything she is in the minority party in a very hostile Congress and the majority party is dead set against regulating business. ---

In the small chance this both passes and covers a wide enough net to affect CCP, it will be easily rectified. There’s a plex vault to prevent drops, and everyone knows the drop rate in items is 50% in the event of ship destruction. They could just make a one page blurb on how they’re compliant and bam, problem solved. Plex could be close to getting hit, but its really a different animal entirely. Plex is less so an exploitive practice, and moreso a way to combat RMT(Yes I know it hasn’t worked) and to allow poor(irl) but effective players/groups to function well above their numbers. ---
