Here I can see the theory behind it. The problem is, is that those cards are mine. I can sell them and I can trade them to someone who wants them. With these loot boxes you dont even technically own anything. You cant even sell your account either as per their TOS. That actually helps their case that it isnt gambling. Unfortunately I dont see this as the legal definition of gambling. People are forking over cash for a random assortment of digitial information that you neither own nor has any intrinsic monetary value. Its stupidity, not gambling. --- "its okay a lizard ate me and elucidated my fate" - MJ_Max on Dark Souls 3DSFC : 0860-3930-2170 \| NNID : CapnMuffin \| XBGT : Capn Muffin <cite>CapnMuffin posted [p:901054498] in EA respond...
