TCG's are boosters of X physical cards. They still give you a physical product. Game lootboxes give you abstract rewards. Just electronic numbers.

As long as digital goods can be exchanged for money, the value is whatever people pay for it. Welcome to the 21st century where physical goods aren't the only thing that hold value. Weird argument.

No, a card is a physical toy. It's not about the value associated with it. 

 

 

A child buys a booster of cards and they 100% get a toy.

A child buy a lootbox, they get no toy. They keep clicking the button until they feel they do.

 

Has nothing to do with 21st century, just reality.
