    Disabling trading items is a bad call. Look at epic and rocket league. The game was already dying and removing trading was a massive fuck you to a huge section of the player base.

      I never said that they should disable trading. Just that they should go after gambling sites and introduce things that would make it harder to gamble.

        They could try doing something. I dunno maybe trading limits and/or time-outs combined with DMCA takedowns.

        Maybe the cost of setting up casinos isn’t very high but it takes time to build up trust from consumers and get customers.

        If they can shutdown the biggest casinos that are sponsoring YouTubers and competitions that’s at least a decent win.

        Why? I think the only thing that is bad with the practice is involvement with kids. Enforce age limits within the gambling sites, and really that’s up to the FTC and gaming commissions.
