Do you know what's a distribution? There are no system in the world a fucking psychology Richard Feynman equivalent can pull to make everyone that touched it become an lootbox addict. (or whatever addict you'd like to call it. )
It's not a melt down because it's so hilariously bad I offer a challenge to let you show me "any" reputable publication that stats what you claimed with certain co-relation. In these categories:
And, can I guess before hand? You have none of relevant qualification to make those claims, right? If this is r/science and I am wrong I will be slapped with pages worth of links by now. Go ahead, try educate this fellow stupid old man.
Youre gonna be such an abusive parent, fucking lol
You can google this shit, bud, china literally just banned these systems from games in their country because of how they are designed.
You can also google literally anything about gambling addictions.
Unfortunate that theres nothing stopping the future abuse of your kid
Such poor display of integrity eh? Who has the burden to show stuff backing their claims? Right, the person that make the claims.
China does China shit to make Xi look nice and cause a stock market dip and then "might" loosen up the regulation. Unlike you, I include source:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-25/china-is-softening-stance-on-gaming-after-80-billion-rout
It's the same strategy politicians used here, it's the same type of thought process to trigger down vote without using brain cell to process we see here: "Think of the children, XXXX is bad."
Yes, I did, long before this news articles, before I even have kids. As neuroscience is part of my core interests. I don't religiously read or follow publications, not in that industry, but those related that posted on reddit or show up in my science curated youtube feed(which recently gone to shit because of generative contents) I just like to check and read about them. I saw nothing like you guys claimed. You have to show me otherwise to back up your claim. Or change topic like others and say this is abuse.
Yes, there is, it's called knowledge and understand the mechanics. Remember the experiment that nice well people can just "follow the order" and torture their subject? If you are not aware, you may learn something new today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
Oh, and abuse means you are in a position where the victim can't or don't know how to say no to your malpractice. My kid tells me to stop humming all the time cause his youtube music stuck in my head and I have obliged every time he said so, you know, trust building from young that he can refuse and stop things he doesn't like.
Im not providing sources because we both know that the time would be wasted. You dont want real sources, and youre going to abuse your kid regardless.
If I thought showing you facts mattered, maybe I would go through the effort of writing yet another college dissertation on the addictive designs of modern gaming through a psychologists lens.
But you know you dont care. A literal governement entity found enough evidence do enact laws to stop this and you brushed it off with some racist hand waving. Facts wont stop your abusive behavior.
Especially with logic like "I cant be abusing my kids, they tell me to stop humming sometimes"
A person said something does not mean it's "facts", I am actually asking you to show me "the" facts, which you dodge and refused. Does that mean you just claim something baseless as facts? That falls under the category of misinformation.
Well, let's stop right here, I am gonna assume I missed something, would you care enough and point me to an article that have links to such "evidence"? You are making a claim again that I didn't read anywhere, potentially missed or forgotten. Or are you suggesting that there must be some evidence to back this decision, without actually know if it exist or not? Does that mean the banning of abortion also have some "evidence" to support it? As they must be passed by a government entity.
AND, back to the topic, did you even read the links I provided? It literally says they will reconsider the terms and seek public comments, from a authoritarian government making a billions blunder announcement. They have did this so many times and back paddles because of the damage it did in the past as well. So are you saying they are caving because of billionaire pressure? Of all people but Xi? Dang, wouldn't that be hilarious? A communist dictator with science backed evidence caved under capitalist demands? WOW, look at that, such a lose of face and I hope the institute that suggest such idea and allow the announcement still exists next year.
Sorry I am enjoying this good laugh a bit much.
I care enough to keep wasting my time typing back, even though I know you don't have the integrity to find such article/publication to back you claims.
Oh nice, now you dont think china exists if I dont link you a google search. You need evidence that the country and people you just made racist comments about exists?
That makes your further racist comments kinda awkward, but Im not expecting consistency from someone trying to get his child addicted to gambling.
