Advertisment content

Hi Mr. Microsoft,

As an occasional gamer, I enjoy playing the solitaire daily challenges and Mine Sweeper games from time to time. I do not object to the advertisements - I like the idea of someone else paying for my fun.

However as a recovering gambling addict I find the advertisements for the card games and slot-machine games very uncomfortable, and bordering on dangerous. If I see the ads, and I am tempted to download such a "harmless" game, I may soon slide back into
old ways, and end up gambling for real.

I would greatly like to see an optional filter to exclude these adverts for these gambling types of games. I have not seen ads for cigarettes or booze, but the same criteria should apply. I would be very happy to see some alternate advertisement. Who
knows - I may one day actually buy an electric toothbrush.

Thanks

 

Can you please stop force feeding me advertisements?

Loot boxes Are Gambling.

I think the issue from my perspective isn't necessarily the gambling. It's the predatory actions of the publishers. If they came out and called it gambling from the start I would have zero issue with this. Instead they literally hire psychiatry doctors to make the game addicting and then add gambling only to call them loot boxes. When I buy a game for one of my kids that's rated "E" for everyone I don't expect them to gain a damn gambling addiction. Do I think loot boxes should be banned? No. I do think it should be listed for what it is on the cover. Gambling.
