[quote=NathanBacaABC7]I’m a reporter for ABC7 News, WJLA-TV in Washington. I’ve been following Senators Markey and Hassan’s hearing with the Federal Trade Commission regarding their call to investigate video game loot boxes and micro transactions. For those who don't know "loot boxes" are typically when video game players pay real money to buy virtual goods to enhance their characters in some way. There's an element of chance, similar to buying packs of baseball cards back in the day. There is some concern this will create an unregulated gambling industry, worth billions to large gaming companies. Do any families here have any experience with this form of video game addiction, or is this congressional push for oversight overblown for a problem that isn't there? If you have any questions for me and this story, I’ll try to answer them, but remember, I’m still looking for answers myself. Thanks![/quote]
