adjl 11/22/17 2:05:30 PM #71:	quigonzel posted... Loot boxes aren't gambling. When you gamble, you stand to lose something. However, when you purchase a loot box, you always get rewarded with something. It may not be what you wanted but it's something. If the loot box was empty, then there's a problem. https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/3-poll-of-the-day/76017136/890857933 The salient point is that you stand to gain something, not lose something. You are paying money for a chance at a reward, which is a system that psychologically manipulates the consumer in exactly the same manner as formal gambling. Ergo, similar regulations are needed to restrict that psychological manipulation. --- This is my signature.
