The Bishop of St. Albans has weighed in on loot boxes following the UK House of Commons report. Yes, the Church of England has opinions on in-game gambling!
While I’m not exactly a holy man myself, I do find it amusing to see the game industry getting it from all corners. The pasting that publishers are taking in the press is well deserved, too. They earned this with their arrogant ignorance of the issue.
Jesus officially hates loot boxes… confirmed!

You Know You Fucked up If The Church Of England Is Mad At You.
_Dora the Explorer fights the Cartels_ was controversial, but fortunately they added parental controls to remove the torture scenes. One wanders if that is enough to justify the G-Rating.
I think this really does further solidify the concept that loot boxes are gambling in the public consciousness. Random religious folk have now not only heard of loot boxes, but were introduced to them in the context of gambling. I think this is a good sign that public opinion is really shifting toward realizing that loot boxes should be regulated and/or banned. If only all microtransactions had the same fate . . .
The church is the guardian angel that protects young children from this kind of abuse.
Well, THIS kind of abuse.
Jim ” I said it before the beginning of time” Sterling
Judas betrayed Jesus for a lootbox but he only got 30 silvercoins out of it.
Now we can officially yell “DEUS VULT!” when it comes to banning lootboxes. What a time to be alive.
So, the devil horns of Bobby Kotick are not photoshoped? Is he literally the Antichrist? Are loot boxes the signs of a comming rapture? May Jim Sterling help us all.
I guess that really WAS a damming report!
When the Church is more up to date regarding video games, then most of the children’s parents
*A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.*
So now the trick is to get people to realize the solution is to take the gambling out of video games, not get rid of the video games.
And then, by miracle, Jesus turned the lootboxes into extra content put in at launch, and the people hazzahed and the sheep were fed and the oxen worked hard and the day was good.
Im seriously debating filming a parody commercial of that 2k slot machine commercial replacing the adults with kids
At least Konami was nice enough to stop fronting as a gaming company when they went all in on gambling.
I appreciate the stranger danger allusion.
EA exec pulls up in a rusty van. “Hey kid, wanna buy a lootbox?”
Of course God hates loot boxes. It’s the epitome of greed. Greed is a sin. Jesus has spoken.
I want a shirt that says “God hates Loot Boxes”
EA: We disagree with Jesus Christ’s interpretation of the law.
