The big new “Star Wars” game is facing continued scrutiny, but this time it’s not from players – it’s from a Democratic politician in Hawaii. His name is Chris Lee, and he accused the game’s makers of “predatory behavior” in an address this week.
“This game is a Star Wars-themed online casino, designed to lure kids into spending money,” he said. “It’s a trap.”
Lee said that he’s looking into legislation in the coming year that could prohibit the sale of some games to people under 21 years of age. He also said he’s been “talking with several other States as well” regarding similar legislation elsewhere.
Specifically, Lee is addressing the “loot box” system that was previously in the game “Star Wars Battlefront 2.”
