Is the game sold for free?
If I buy a video game and play it and occasionally get loot boxes that may have ultra-powerful items or may not, that's gambling. But if I buy a video game and play it and occasionally get items that aren't called loot boxes but may be ultra-powerful or may not, that's not gambling?
- shakna 9y ago> If I buy a video game and play it and occasionally get loot boxes Why do you hide the repeated purchase? The game is bought, once. Loot-boxes require another purchase - an uninformed one. You purchase an item for a chance at something else, a chance that you don't actually know. Mario Kart would be gambling, if you had to buy every crate as you hit it. As it is, with no additional purchase, it is simply a randomised strategic feature. Currency of some form needs to be exchanged to create gambling.
