@nyarimeow@TakeMeAwayUFO Im not defending what they are doing, I think its predatory and built to make people play unhealthy amounts of hours, but I am telling you that what they are doing is not illegal in any way, legaly the skins are worthless and thats by EU and US code.
@xondeyaa defending and explaining how what they are doing is not illegal at all are two very different things, its predatory and built to make people play unhealthy amounts of hours. does not mean its illegal in any way
@nyarimeow@TakeMeAwayUFO the skins in the item shop are being sold for vbucks, a virtual currency, the only tranaction that protects the currency as actual money is when you pay for it form real currency to virtual currency, the token gives you skins, not vbucks
@JustSlippingTea@nyarimeow@TakeMeAwayUFO legaly it holds no value as the only protected transaction is from real currency to virtual currency, virtual currency to virtual item is not protected and by that has no value since you dont own the skins, but have a license to use them
@LatasaBDO@aniieft@TakeMeAwayUFO you are not reciving 8 thousand euros in form of digital items, the items have no value, the only way it could legaly be considered valueable in the US and EU would be if you were handed 8 thsaound euro worth of vbucks
@RehanDbl@TakeMeAwayUFO selling your account is against terms, not something at fault of epic, a voucher that bypasses the first real currency to virtual currency also invalides all value as the only protected transaction is the one from real currency to virtual currency. its a legal loophole
@LatasaBDO@aniieft@TakeMeAwayUFO the first part of this statement is true, the second is not, a skin does not retain its market value. the direct transaction from real money to virtual currency is the only protected action. since the token does not give you currency but skins directly it holds no value
@K1LLER_ZOMBIE_1@aniieft@TakeMeAwayUFO for something to qualify as gambling is must have Consideration ( a requirement of a real life value being attributed to be able to play )
Chance, and Prize. you do not pay to play, you do not get any money in return. its a game mechanic. not gambling
@K1LLER_ZOMBIE_1@aniieft@TakeMeAwayUFO also pulled that straight out of your ass didnt you, there are no countires that consider non refundeable virtual currency as actual money.
