Loot boxes being compared to gambling

[cmdrdredd]

They get around that with "no purchase necessary" caveats..which usually require jumping through hoops to get a free code that no sane person would do.

Actually I think purebeast won both a PS4 and Xbox one x from Taco Bell without buying anything from them. So it’s not impossible lol.

Heh, that could be fun... "You could get your annual bonus, or you could go for the "Bonus Loot Box" with a 1 and 10 shot at getting the CEO's bonus this year! Hey... I might go for it.

I don't understand why this has become an issue now. EA mobile games like Star Wars Galaxy Of Heroes and Simpsons: Tapped Out have had Mystery Boxes with premium items and characters that you could buy with cash for awhile now.
