**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

That's exactly what it means. You don't receive, own, or have any legal right to anything in the game. There is nothing of value being returned to us.
Also, you left out the section that stated "does not include".
We don't know what will take place any more than spamming the word "Wrong" makes a viable counter.
Well, you can, but it's folly to do so.
Receive in legal terms generally means taking possession of something. Not that it really matters. In Kabam's ToS, which is legally binding, we all agreed that all in game items and currency have no value. In order for something to be legally classified as gambling under US law, the person must have a chance to receive something of value. Since all in-game items have no value, no Crystals that dispense in game items can be classified as gambling under US law. Now, U.S. law could change, but they currently appear to be well in the clear.
This is correct, as are most of Grounded Wisdom's posts.
Another discussion for you to argue against the majority?
Apple are doing right by gamers, this is a major win. And your complaining about it... I have no idea why
It has nothing to do with a majority or minority. I have my own views on it, and I do not agree with it. It's as simple as that. My views on Apple won't change, and I'm not in favor of what they're doing. It's perfectly fine for people to disagree.
I understand that you like to argue just for the sake of arguing but you are deliberately missing the point. Apple is trying to get out in front on an issue that governments are increasing looking at to be able to say, hey no need to pass laws & or ban loot boxes. We are policing them ourself. You may not FEEL it is gambling but many governments do. Apple is simply trying to convince those governments not to outlaw loot boxes so that Apple does not lose the revenue they receive from them and companies like KABAM are not put out of business by the same loss (not that Apple cares about those companies further than the monies they get from them).

Forbes pretty much saying the whole ncgp is nothing more then a giant troll
Quote messed up
Well what have apple done so wrong for you to be against this? When it's helping gamers?
Please explain?
You seem to be just arguing for the sake of it, sometimes your right with your views but on this... I find it hard to believe your so against something that is so good for us.
I'm not elaborating because I have very strong opinions on Apple and some of their business practices, and I don't agree that their concern is for the Users. There are many things I do not approve of when it comes to Apple, but I really don't want to get into it because it's not the appropriate place, and it would become off-topic. Plus the fact that I don't agree that the information needs to be mandatorily displayed. So, as I said, I'll just leave it as I don't agree with it.
Actually the official response from the UK was:
'The government recognises the risks that come from increasing convergence between gambling and video games. The Gambling Commission is keeping this matter under review and will continue to monitor developments in the market’,
You cannot make your argument seem more legitimate by only posting the part of quotes that you agree with. China has already passed laws requiring the odds of loot boxes be provided and several other countries (including the UK, USA, Russia & India) are looking into it. Several have even spoken of passing laws that would classify loot boxes and other such gaming contrivances as Gambling. As much as GW may claim otherwise if laws are passed then they are the 'legal' definition of gambling. Laws = Legal Definition.
Your not elaborating because you have nothing to say on it, your just saying you don't agree with practices for the sake of it, otherwise you would have just answered what else they do, that you are so against...
Why is this for apples gain too? It doesn't benefit them in the slightest, it benefits all the players who play all these games with crystals/supply drops/loot boxes/ character packages... so you can see the odds on getting something rare.
Nothing about that is beneficial to Apple as a company. It's beneficial to players of the games.
How you fail to see that, is completely mind blowing.
It shows that players can win, look at EA recently with the Battlefront 2 game, they had to rework all their loot boxes due to players standing up against it.
It's hard because most of what you say is plan wrong. Sorry man.
Apple is no more and no less an ethical player than any other for profit business. And there have been many complaints about their business practices (not unlike countless otrher companies). Just look them up. No need to derail a good convo about likely outcomes of loot box rules changes.
Be even funnier when NOTHING happens! lol. Slag and call Kabam as much as you want, you dont make the laws or rules, you have no say. Kabam will not have to do this at all, as is shown by the fact it is now 11 days since, according to the armchairs, they were told they had to! Apple didnt say "do this when you can be bothered", it was a fixed date to do it by. This is the no1 app on Apple and they havent done this, doesnt that show you that they dont have to ffs?
Keep posting, nothing will happen
When was the date given by Apple ?
