Our government looked at the report and, mad Nad as she's known,
basically went yeh whatever. We shouldn't burden companies with more
'red tape' that will in anyway negatively effect their profits. Why
set-up a committee in the first place if you're going to completely
ignore what it says.

Isn't that just how politics works? Setting up a committee is usually a
delaying tactic to begin with and when they finally deliver something,
the choices are more committees for more delays or dismissal. Pretty
soon it's the end of the term and issues are forgotten or maybe the new
parliament sets up another committee about the same thing.

Oh well, for a little international flavor, here in Finland we're moving
away from a government gambling monopoly towards some kind of a
licensing deal. Mostly because gambling's not a monopoly any more, in
practice people are free to stuff the online casinos' coffers with their
money. So the loot box question may come up at some point here but I'd
be surprised if anything happens this decade. Then again, Finland is a
small market, EU wide regulation might actually do something to
someone's bottom line.
