Loot Boxes: Difference between revisions

Then there are the legal issues raised during 2018 and 2019 -- loot boxes came under fire in multiple jurisdictions like Belgium, which have designated them as gambling, placing them alongside online casinos in terms of regulation, and Japan, where the ''kompu gacha'' loot boxes are banned outright by the Consumer Affairs Agency. Questions were raised not only about circumventing gambling regulations but also the effect of random reward systems on personalities already prone to addictive behaviors. Then there were concerns about a growing underground market for selling loot from boxes for real money at often exorbitant prices, driven by the legally-grey "gold miner" industry based out of the far east.
