voldothegr8 06/19/19 2:42:11 PM #8:	Kerry Hopkins, EAs VP of legal and government affairs, insists that the companys randomised purchases arent loot boxes, but rather surprise mechanics. In an oral evidence session with the UK Parliaments Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee, Hopkins compares the mechanics to surprise toys, which have been around for years, whether its Kinder Eggs, or Hatchimals, or LOL Surprise. This fine article does a good job of explaining the difference of toys/cards vs lootboxes and how the similarities end after the fact you don't know what you're getting. EA's stance is utter dogshit. https://www.fandom.com/articles/loot-boxes-arent-the-same-as-trading-cards --- Oda break tracker 2019- 4 (3) \| THE Ohio State: 13-1 \| Oakland Raiders: 4-12 Super Mario Maker Profile: 1237-0000-0073-02FE <cite>voldothegr8 posted [p:923547496] in EA VP of L...
