Not a very good one but being only 22 I haven't had much opportunity, but in 2012 I saw
B I G S L E E P, play at the arts center in Norwich, they changed their name and they're now The 1975 who have been everywhere the past year.
I also saw Ben Howard at Latitude in 2011, he blew up the month after when his album got released and it got top 10 on the charts. |

I didn't make myself very clear, I don't see it like that, but technically you are paying 50p and gambling that you'll get something worth more than that in the pack. Sounds stupid but it is like that. On FIFA you pay a £1 to open a pack and hope you'll pack something that'll turn in to 100,000 coins which is worth £10, on counter strike you pay £2 and hope you get something worth more than that. I don't see it as gambling but people do, and it's relatively good point. |

Alright I didn't make myself all that clear, it is a separate issue but people are getting in legal trouble for stuff like that, and this that has happened with betting with virtual currency is the exact same that has happened in counter strike people would bet skins on sports and esports etc, however the legality of it all wasn't made entirely clear until recently, FUTGalaxy was setup way before the legality of everything was made public, all im saying is a lot of people are saying it's just these 2, it isn't just these 2 people there's loads of this going around and the games themselves also need to be held accountable for all this, not just these 2 people. |

EA Sports do the exact same thing that these guys did in the game itself, 'Encouraging kids to gamble' on FIFA you can open packs for real money and get a random set of players etc, this is gambling as well, if these guys are doing something wrong then so are EA.
Also, I play Counter strike and they have the same thing, where on the game you can pay money and open crates and get a skin that makes your weapon a different colour/ have a new pattern, depending on how rare the pattern the more it's worth in real life money which in a way makes this gambling. Loads of websites popped up allowing you to gamble and then Valve who make Counter strike set a law suit against them, and people were claiming this as child gambling.
The point is, you can't say it's these 2 that are encouraging kids to gamble, it's the game itself. |
