Ah yes, let's enable the whales even more in throwing away money to fuel their addiction! I feel like this is something for the EU to look at, after loot boxes and other gacha mechanics. In my country they tried to ban them but failed.

I get it, but its not really gambling like gacha and loot boxes. You are buying something, the gamble is whether or not the project actually gets finished. What'll make you real mad is the different levels of concierge and the fact they sell a 3500 usd packagae. Although thats not really meant to be bought with new money and anyone who does buy that with new money has a problem.
