Too little, too late. (Gaming)

The battle pass is absolutely predatory. You pay however much money for the privilege to grind the game to get the stuff in the battle pass, and if you don’t grind enough before the next battle pass, tough shit, you just don’t get the items that you ostensibly paid for. Unless you cough up more money to buy battle pass levels.
Show me a battle pass that doesn’t expire and doesn’t allow you to buy levels and I’ll concede that specific one isn’t predatory.
In any case, my point was that lot boxes are barely an issue anymore because everyone had moved on to a new model that appears to be more straightforward (no gambling), but is still incredibly insidious.
Unless this warning actually factored into the rating (loot boxes? Automatic M), I’m not sure it’s even close to actually mattering.
