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. |
Most games aren't AO because publishers don't allow them and retailers won't stock them. This can easily change IMO. For one Sony and Microsoft make games with loot boxes so they will just change their regulations. And retailers will follow because they will miss out on big blockbusters like CoD.
