I'm sure you already read the message for Dokkan players in Belgium. If not, here is the original post: "Dear Players, Earlier this year, the Belgian Gaming Commission issued a report stating that certain forms of "loot boxes" will be considered as a form of gambling. While we do not share the views of the Belgian Gaming Commission on this point, we have decided to take steps to comply with their interpretation of Belgian gambling laws. Starting today, players in Belgium are no longer entitled, and will be unable, to purchase "Dragon Stones", "Summon Tickets", or any item pack that contains those items. Belgian players will still however be able to use the "Summon" feature using "Dragon Stone" that is earned through gameplay or that is given out as part of in-game events. We understand that this will have an impact on the enjoyment of our players in Belgium, but we feel that we have no choice but to make these changes so that our fans can continue to play Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle. We apologize for the inconvenience. If there is any change in the situation or an update to the Belgian Gaming Commission's interpretation, we will let you know. We hope you continue to enjoy playing Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle." First of all, I'm a huge fan of Dokkan Battle and have been playing it for almost two years now. Nevertheless, I must welcome the Belgian decision regarding the regulation of online gambling. Because, let's face it, the mechanics of online games like Dokkan Battle, FIFA or Star Wars Battlefront II are simply gambling. I think there should be an honest and open discussion about this,  especially as a player. By few players who spend a lot of money the main profit is achieved in such games. This also applies to Dokkan Battle. You don't receive a product for your stones/money, but only the chance to get a specific product. The game developers shouldn't take their games off the market. But just think about how they can make the games without these gambling mechanics. What is your position? Do you agree with the whole or do you have a different view? If yes, which?
