CHRIS

LEE

Chris Lee is an American politician and democratic member of the Hawaii House of Representatives. In 2017, he and Sean Quinlan became the first elected officials in the United States to raise concern and bring attention to online gaming practises involving loot boxes encouraging minors and children to gamble after the Star Wars Battlefront 2 loot box controversy.

In the video, Chris Lee calls Star Wars Battlefront 2 a "Star Wars themed online casino designed to trap little kids".  Sean Quinlan, another Hawaii state representative says that the thing he finds most disturbing about the situation is that EA is the largest game development studio in the world, making a game based on the most popular intellectual property in the world, marketing the game towards children. He also compares the situation to Joe Camel, a cartoon camel designed to market Camel cigarettes. He says that "we didn't allow Joe Camel to encourage your kids to smoke cigarettes, and we shouldn't allow Star Wars to encourage your kids to gamble"
