I think the problem is less that the legislation is targeted at children and more that it is very easy to circumvent. Unless they start enforcing mandatory age verification for every game / gaming service that is, but even then you could just buy an account or game keys.
As long as parents don’t give a fuck, this won’t change much.
Furthermore, this only theoretically protects kid, but fuck people with grambling addictions i guess…

Some things are preventative. There’s plenty of studies that show that the likelihood of developing a gambling addiction is higher for kids.

I’d rather they blanket ban all lootboxes
Kids won’t be able to play without stealing their parents ID or pointing a camera at a low res model in a web browser
