Bisonte C45: An Italian Gift that Keeps on Giving

Although I was still lucky enough to get one, because I bought boxes in order to get gold for the upcoming Black Market. Other people might not be interested in getting gold from the boxes, and if they want the Bisonte or any other new tank, they have no other "option" than to gamble for it.   You cannot possibly deny that WG are incentivizing people to gamble for it. It's a whole article showcasing the Bisonte, and a whole line of text says "Where to get it", with gigantic "PURCHASE" buttons right below it for lootboxes.   Yes, it's WG's freedom to do so, it's their game. However, it's the mere fact that everyone still keeps denying that it's gambling, while it's super clear that it's being incentivized. Not to mention that your game should get proper regulations regardling gambling. The same kind of regulations that gambling sites have to obey   If you stop denying that it's gambling, and you start regulating the boxes, I'll have zero issues with them being in the game. Just stop with the BS "We're the good guys" attitude, and stop using the "it's optional" argument that has been debunked a million times.

Personally I enjoy the game for free and I'm happy others finance it with purchases.   Advertising gambling should be done only in a clear manner in my opinion (meaning it should be clear from the onset its a gamble). For me my negativity keeps being triggered by the way stuff is announced. Maybe I'm just too oldfashioned for this kind of stuff.
