I have mixed feelings being a parent now. It can be fun to get a mystery box or pack. But it does feed on the anticipation and rush of surprise. Kids seem to lack the self control to stop. Video games seem the worst to me since they're so intangible it's easier to get carried away before others notice.
I feel so guilty about how often I begged my parents for new magic, Star Wars ccg, or battletech booster packs.
Why feel guilty when you've been manipulated by marketing to beg your parents for it?
