🗞 We featured in the Dec 2022 issue of @TheHouseMag for an article on #lootboxes. Latest research from @lborouniversity/@UniofNewcastle found loot boxes can and do cause financial and emotional harms to young people. Our work helps safeguard this digital generation.

1/ Though I am deeply sympathetic to the tragic personal circumstances Bob Moran describes, it is never right to incite people to attack and abuse others.
