Script
Panel 1
Inside a dimly lit video game studio, a young influencer is sitting in front of a large monitor, holding a gaming controller. The screen shows a glowing loot box with animated dollar signs spinning around it. A developer stands nervously behind him, holding a stack of papers. Influencer (excitedly) Developer (whispering)
Influencer: Another spin! I can feel the loot coming!
Developer: Uh, actually, the EU just proposed the Digital Fairness Act...
Panel 2
The developer hands the influencer a thick document. The influencer’s face shows confusion and slight panic as he reads it. Influencer (stammering) Developer (nodding)
Influencer: Wait, you mean... no more exploiting our audience?
Developer: Exactly! It’s all about consumer protection now.
Panel 3
The influencer slams the document down and looks at the loot box on the screen, now gray and dull. Influencer (sighing dramatically) Developer (deadpan)
Influencer: So, this is the end of my sweet, sweet loot box stream...?
Developer: Sorry, mate. Time to level up to something new.
