Blizzard's currently doing a pretty decent job of surviving a lawsuit that stemmed from one of their staff members committing suicide after facing routine sexual harassment and assault, with extensive allegations claiming that abuse to be extremely widespread and pretty indisputable evidence that pretty much every level of management knew all about it and has done nothing, and that's something they're directly responsible for. I doubt they'd have too much trouble dealing with something they can easily blame on the victim's mental illness, given that most governments aren't taking them to task for deliberately preying on such illnesses.

Mostly, ActiBlizz is just a terrible company. Through and through. I've categorically stopped buying their games and encourage everyone else to do the same. That's not going to make enough of a difference to their bottom line to change any of their behaviour, but it's really all I can do. Even if, by some miracle, loot boxes and their ilk are properly regulated like gambling, I fully expect they already have other manipulative monetization strategies waiting in the wings to be deployed and pick up the slack almost immediately.
