Update on loot boxes

By now I think everyone knows about this but Belgium has officially declared loot boxes is gambling and wants the practice to be banned in Europe. That is good to hear but there's also a decent piece of news coming out from the US of A for once.

So congratulations EA. For once, you have made the world a better place. Just not a better place for you and other publishers like you who dares to pull off bullshit like this. A good win for parents, children, gambling addicts and gamers in general but we still need to pay attention to loot boxes and what happens with regards to this.

Edit November 23: Sadly, the announcement made by the Belgium is not an official one. It is merely the statement that the commission is making regarding loot boxes and that is their view, not the official findings. Still a good thing because they are investigating the whole deal. Just not as good.
