Can you pay for them? Do you know what you're getting?

Depends on the game imo. I play a lot of overwatch and I would say those boxes are fine as is. You get them from playing, everything is cosmetic, in them they can have coins which you can buy whatever you want with.

You're paying money on a game of chance for a wanted outcome that you probably wont get.

And worse, it's for digital goods that zero monetary value.

It's a gray area. It's similar enough for me to lean on the yes side. But LoL at companies trying to call it "surprise mechanics" or some other term.

To me what defines gambling is that you either win money or lose money. You can't win anything with loot boxes. You are spending money and getting a digital asset in return. You will always walk away with less money.
