@drcodyjphillips @LeonXiaoY Or gacha system that requires combining certain items to gain buffs by opening hundreds of paid loot boxes. "Pay-to-access" is not the most highly debated game monetization tactic in that part of the world - there are more severe monetization schemes that get greater attention.

[Solip Park @SolipPark]

@drcodyjphillips @LeonXiaoY The details are yet unfolded, but I assume the regulation will only apply to purchasable probability-type items (e.g., loot boxes that you can purchase in real money or gear upgrades that require purchasable consumables).
