A Kotaku review of the UK's latest inquiry of "Immersive and addictive technology" described the victim of Jagex's powerful Runescape microtransactions. In the report is a mention of "a citizen who's son has accumulated substantial debts with OSRS Accounts." The son was reported to have spent more than $62.000 playing Runescape within a single year. This debt is said to have "caused substantial financial damage" to the boy as well as his parents. The report states that Jagex could not take "direct steps" due to parents concern because of "data security reasons."

The report also described Jagex's monetization plan in Runescape and a conversation with Director of Player Experience Kelvin Plomer. The report states that Plomer stated that Runescape players "can possibly spend as much as PS1.000 every week or PS5.000 every month" prior to the cap that Jagex has set. will stop any further purchases. The cap was put intended to deter extreme fraud, which suggests that it was able to help this family avoid more severe debt only by accident.

Although the UK report isn't clear which microtransactions players may pay for, Kotaku cites the likeliest mechanisms for monetization. Runescape includes a system called Treasure Hunter, featuring treasure chests with random loot in their contents. Keys to open these chests which are rewarded with gameplay-impacting loot can be purchased using real money. Runescape also offers more conventional microtransactions as well as subscriptions for battle passes, and other premium options. However, it's the loot chests that are likely to harm those who are vulnerable.

It was the UK investigation and report concluded that loot box use should be controlled in the same way as gambling. This is why the UK authorities haven't taken steps in the direction of this suggestion, but it could in the near future. The Runescape Treasure Hunter chests certainly fit the definition of a treasure chest however it's not certain if the new laws on gambling will safeguard those who are vulnerable, like the player who gambled $62.000. Adults can legally gamble of course.

However, the public and political pressure continues to rise for some form of regulation to prevent extremely shady microtransactions as well as loot boxes. Recently, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have announced they will reveal all odds of loot boxes openly as an act of self-regulation. The movement towards making the industry more sustainable is taking place, though it's slow.Although we can write for hours about important topics like gold mining or fighting bosses but there is a point for a website's existence when it's time to relax and unwind.
