All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

if you think that the streamers don't make that money back through Subs and Ad Kickbacks from Twitch and YouTube, I got a bridge in Brooklyn i'd like to sell you
We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.
Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.
I'm tired. So very tired. Can I just lay my head on your lap and fall asleep?

Can someone explain to me how this is any different from how other Activision games are monetized? It's the same as cod:mobile and similar to hearthstone and hots.
Ban it on a national level or eu level, just as belgium and the netherlands have done? Making it impossible for the game to exist to begin with?
Sounds like plenty to do about it and it never made it to either of the above countries so it certainly "went away" in that sense...
Can we change it? Obviously we can, read above.
Ahh the good old celebrity gossip...I'm sure most people are unaware that this is celebrity gossip but it is.
A good chunk of blizzards plan was to turn their games into eSports. So they want the eyes on their games.
You can gamble on and watch sports, too. I think the only difference is people don't want their kids subjected to the gambling. It's one thing to not give children access to your payment info, but they shouldn't be subjected to the gambling ads and content.
Twitch streamer shroud endorses this type of thing for games. Funny cause he makes money from it too. Take that away would say he'd change his mind.
Least it didn't go on an Ethot or only fans girl.

Sure, there are.
The EA debacle was a big one a few years back.
Is this on the same level as that? Or any others for that matter?
Have companies slowed down on the MTX model design because of it?
Have streamers slowed down on showing this stuff?
Some things can change, sure, on a smaller scale.
A company here and there may say "you know what, we will listen to feedback and criticism".
A streamer here and there may take a hard stance and give up on the model.
On a larger scale, though, I just don't see the MTX model going away, the streamer model of people who watch others play (and pay to do so), and things like this will continue.
It would be cool if that's wrong, but no evidence supports it on a big enough scale.
