It sucks that they have to do this. But I prefer this than to simply lock out users from the affected countries.

(Looking at steam here, not bothering to create age verification, which in turn means in some countries some games are not visible/purchasable at all)

In NL it is so stupid, I am legally allowed to verify my age and gamble, but opening loot boxes no way.

Worst part is that loot boxes aren't even defined as gambling yet ...
