I was happy when Belgium banned loot boxes, but it was not nearly enough.
In other words, put on the stack at the same time but not a different thread.
Do correct me if I misunderstood though.
I think a good parallel here is Tobacco advertising. Smoking is harmful in every way, therefore I don't see any reason why advertising it to a broad audience (which will inadvertently also include children) is something we should allow.
What's the net benefit of allowing such advertising? I don't see it. Yo could argue something about rights to free speech or some variation, but societies still have a responsibility to look out for the health of their people, no?
The JetBrains team has already figured it out as well.
