Topic	Why are people acting like Belgium saying Lootboxes are gambling means anything?
Darmik 11/21/17 10:56:53 PM #32:	ChromaticAngel posted... Disney already preemptively shut down Marvel Heroes (ported to PS4 this year) because of gambling allegations. They also are most likely the people who forced EA to pull the plug on boxes in BF2. The last thing they need any of their brands associated with is real gambling. I thought that game was in danger for a while? Was that really the reason? Tmaster148 posted... True. But we could always make sure the new model isn't exploitative to the consumers even if it's not the best solution for the consumers. I'm not sure how you can do that. Any model can potentially be exploitive to consumers. Tmaster148 posted... I think F2P games that run on loot boxes for money will likely change their systems. And likely there will be a time period for them transition so they don't get completely screwed. In cases for old AAA titles, most corporations will probably just shut down the game instead of paying people to go back and change a system for a game not in active development. Something like that would be unprecedented. So many games would be completely shut down. Even if a game shifts to a new model the players who have been used to lootboxes for the past several years will probably be screwed over. A change like that isn't really minor. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:890842220] in Why are pe...
