Here’s an idea. How about we pick what we want? Eververse is now illegal in Netherlands and Belgium. They just passed laws stating loot boxes are gambling. Pretty sure much of Europe will follow suit. Only matter of time before it happens here in the U.S.

I agree. I think that we won't even have to wait on the US to take action. If most of Europe follows suit then that's an entire region companies wont be able to sell games to, unless they get rid of the loot box system. So I have high hopes that if not by Season 3, Season 4 will not have a loot box type system anymore.

I wouldn't bank on games getting rid of loot boxes. The RNG that is inherent to them is what sustains the grind so many persistent games these days rely on. Instead, to avoid gambling laws, they'll just ensure that no real money is involved. Buy loot-boxes with Glimmer, currency you can only get by playing the game, and it's not gambling because you have no real financial investment in them.
