https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AO-rated_video_games See how small that list is? Publishers know that age ratings can and will affect their sales, especially with games that want tonnes of xmas sales. Removing loot boxes is a small price to pay for access to a much larger audience. Not to mention it may not even be up to the publisher. With licensed properties (Star Wars for example) the licence holder may only agree to the game if it fits in to the age range they are going after for the franchise. |
AO-rated games aren't really relevant in this discussion because a similar age rating doesn't exist in Europe and it doesn't seem like lootboxes are going to be considered gambling in the US. M-rated games are the group you want.
