The fortnite allusion at the beginning is sort-of unfortunate; its one of the few massive games out there which doesn't sell loot boxes in the traditional sense. The Battle Royale mode has never had a loot box system remotly like this; their billions are made simply by selling cosmetic items. The single-player Save the World mode, which, relatively speaking no one plays, did have a system like this for a bit, but at the beginning of 2019 they replaced it with "X-Ray Llamas" which show you exactly what items you'll get before you spend the VBucks on it.
There's a hundred other popular games they could have picked on which would be more accurate: Counterstrike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Apex Legends, the list goes on.

- wincy 7y agoMaybe not, but my 11 year old nephew definitely spent $1600 of my sisters money on Fortnite. Then she got the charges reversed and he got the keep the stuff! What a good lesson for him.
- nacs 7y agoCounterStrike:GO also only has cosmetic items.
- 013a 7y agoSure, as does TF2 and Apex. But they all still have loot boxes which cost money to open, and do not reveal their content until they're opened.
