So I just recently came across this video in my recommendations and, apparently, KH Union Cross is now banned in Belgium which is interesting. Here's the video below if you want to know more about this.

So what do you guys think about this? I'm curious to know everyone's thought on this matter.

Seems reactionary and unnecessary to me. Like Damo said (either in the video or in the comments, can't remember), it seems like they're trying to strike back at the country for these lootbox laws.

Blame EA for that Battlefront 2 fiasco. Of course it's sad that KH Union Cross is banned in Belgium but loot boxes must be destroyed in anyway possible.

Yeah,. I think SE should find some work around to the loot boxes laws in Belgium instead of just abandoning the game in Belgium.

Yeah, that definitely played a big role with Belgium enforcing these new loot boxes laws.

I agree. Microtransactions have allready gone to far in my book so its good that there is pushback. As for union cross well its of course bad for the moment but They will probably release a patched version

I hope so.  I can't imagine living in Belgium, playing the game and then not being able to access my game because of this ban.  I am a bit irked by the news.  Banning just seems like such a cop out.  Why didn't Belgium just work with Square Enix to keep the game accessible rather than just outright ban it?

Man, I heard about this, and it just sucks, because just think of all of the people that won't be able to play the game once the ban date comes, ya know? It sucks big time, especially if you have party members who are friends that have been in your party for a long time, such as is the case with KH4Real! He's been a member of my party, the X-Blade Knights, ever since the early days of the game! In fact, he's one of the founding members of the party, ya know? It sucks that because of this whole fiasco, the game will end up being shut down for them as a result, ya know?

I agree, I hope Square Enix and Belgium can come to some sort of compromise.  So, the players won't have to suffer because of this nonsense.

because that would require extra work so they take the quickest option

It sucks for the players.  Someone is always getting hammered in situations like this because they rather take the easy way rather than the high road that won't screw over the customers they depend on.

Square Enix is still going to give Belgium members the code for the Starlight Keyblade despite the game shutting down in Belgium.

I have only one question, how will the fans from Belgium try to circumvent the ban?

Yeah, let's hope, because everyone deserves to play this game! At the very least Square is ensuring that Belgium players can secure their Starlight codes!

That's something at least.
