Steam buy ban in the netherlands

[markuv]

wtf is wrong with steam. People in The Netherlands cant buy CS:GO, H1Z1, any skin on the steam market. Why tf did they make it like that. The error shows: ''You cant buy this item in your country''

[Donna Pinciotti]

Not steams issue. Your government came up with new regulations.

[Grogwind]

Yep. Your government has banned the selling of skins from crates or boxes as they have deemed it to be gambling.

Steam has followed there wish’s and are not allowing users in these country’s to buy these items.

Don’t like it, contact your government.

Vote for someone else at the next election, then. That's how these things work.

So people complain about loot boxes until governments take action. Now people complain about governments taking actions.

Different people, most likely. And yes, no matter what you do, someone will complain.

It's really about time parents take responsibility. Kinda getting ridiculous now

I wager there is pretty significant overlap.

And what does the whole lootbox system being utterly unregulated and rife for exploitation has to do with parenting? Considering some of the games are not for children anyway?

What's the wager, and how do we determine the truth?

[Donna Pinciotti]

Because it all started with kids getting involved with gambling

[markuv]

What age do you need to be to play the game. Becaus most of the people that cry about the gambling are the parents of little kids that play the game. But if there is a age restriction then its the fault of the parents and not CS:GO's fault
