OK, while that was pretty funny, it's also a bit weird to see articles like this from the onion that kind of minimize legitimate problems. Loot boxes in games, for example, are basically gambling for children who don't know any better. Monetization of games is a big deal that needs to be taken more seriously.
While I don't think that's what the onion was going for, here -- they're making fun of people who senselessly decry video games -- the truth is that the gaming industry does have some severe and legitimate problems.
