you are not forced to buy them. they are not gambling
Lolwut...
So youre saying blackjack, poker, and craps arent gambling because you arent forced to play them? Lololol.
No. Loot boxes are definitely gambling. Youre paying money for a chance to get something worth it. Countries are starting to make companies treat them as such.
Being optional to purchase has zero effect on their status as a gamble.
Well, that's assuming you paid for it. I've opened hundreds and hundreds of loot boxes in Overwatch. And haven't paid for one. If that she gambling, then playing an RPG where enemies drop items would be like gambling. Some enemies drop an item that sometimes has like a 1% drop rate. And people will keep fighting it trying to get it. And if that's also gambling, then the word gambling starts t lose some of it's meaning...
Youre purposefully obfuscating the point. Free loot boxes has never been apart of this conversation and you know it. Even Overwatch isnt really apart of it because theyre purely cosmetic items. That does not mean not paying for them means theyre not gambling.
Trying to shoehorn drop rates of in game mobs is completely outside of this to the point its nearly worthless to respond to.
But you're putting all lootboxes in the same boat. And they.'re not all the same. And even if Overwatch charges, you can also win lots of them for free. All lootboxes aren't the same, yet in this topic, it makes it sound like they are... ---
