I saw this the other day, it's been going on for a few years in different countries and games, but is universal in it's concept.
People, young kids as well, paying real money for something that isn't revealed until AFTER they pay. Almost all governments now claim this is a form of gambling and the game sellers are causing gambling problems in the gaming world. Clearly EA and other publishers have no problem promoting gambling in this way. It's making them immense profits. Blizzard so far has kept this concept out of their biggest franchise WOW. But now that activision and blizzard merged somehow, I see activision possibly ruining the WOW franchise by doing in game purchasing. But I do believe bliz has in game purchase for many of their other titles. Sure, it's a way for big profits, but at what price?
