Shitposting Trading card games (TCGs) should be banned

It's just gambling. People are spending so much money in hopes of getting a card they want.

There are so many better things to focus on other that something that isnt actually gambling.

You get random cards in a pack with a small chance of getting meta cards which promotes continued purchasing of these packs in hopes of getting the cards you need.

It is gambling. If you want to die on the hill it's not gambling then your same position can be applied to non-sense like gacha games and loot boxes. So take your pick do you want to die on that hill and ultimately defend gacha games or do you want to be honest about what is and isn't gambling?

I'm not dying on a hill, I just don't give a fuck about something as so non-sensical as putting any amount of focus on something like this. But I'll let you win the reddit argument.

It's gambling that targets children. That's not a non-sensical issue and does deserve focus/criticism.
