  Your Podcast is really the only one i can listen to for hours. Normally i get bored after about 15 minutes, but you four have such interesting topics and discussions, it&apos;s really awesome.<br><br>Okay now to the topic: <br>I bought Loot Boxes myself, but only a few, cause they are really &nbsp;expensive. <br>And then there are this like 10 year old kids, who join a round in a game and brag about how much money they spent on skins and loot boxes ect. And every time i just think: Who let this kid be online and let him buy all of this. Where are the parents? And when i say stuff like: &quot;Yeah but it&apos;s not your money you spent, its your parents money.&quot;, this kids often get so aggressive (at least here in Germany) like hold on it&apos;s just a fact, my god.<br><br>But i really don&apos;t like those parents, who have no idea what their kid is doing online, buying all this stuff with their money. Like please look what your kids are doing and set boundaries, thanks. 😂😅<br><br>I also feel really bad for those people who think they have to buy all of those stuff &quot;to be cool&quot;, and then they (or their parents) end up in debt. Or like you guys said they don&apos;t get what they want, and buy more and more.<br>Personally i think loot boxes are a problem, and not only a little one.<br><br>And to the companys: I&apos;ve always wanted to work for a game company or something in this direction, but then i saw tweets like Rockstars or ex-employees speaking up, and that changed my mind (i mean i would probably didn&apos;t have a chance, so that was just a dream), cause like i earn about 18.000 Euro a year for a &quot;normal&quot; 40 hours/week job, and i&apos;m pretty happy with my job. And then there are those publishers who let their people work for less money and more hours, and it&apos;s sad just to think about it man.<br><br>To end this long comment: Thanks again for the podcast, really liked it. 😊

  One good thing in germany is, that if you are between 7 and 18, you are only partial able to make contracts. Every money interaction counts as a contract. So, if your parents find out about you buying expensive things in the internet, they have to agree with the contract. If they don`t, then the contract is null and void and they have to give the money back and the bought things go back to the seller.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_69l7mtiv4&amp;t=1353">22:33</a> no, no there isn&apos;t. We are seeing the results of this type of overworked devs today. This was 5 years ago and games are STILL shit because of work like that bs
