Gamers shouldn't get the government involved in this. They should just ignore buying or supporting lootboxes and let publishers know they don't want lootboxes. The thing is that the vocal minority are the ones opposed to loot boxes. Even if they get banned publishers will find other ways to monetize their games, VIP passes, more paid dlc etc.

The solution for publishers is simple, instead of buying lootboxes you'll earn points ingame to spend on lootboxes. Then they'll sell boosters so you gain points faster. The objection the governments have is paying for something, and not knowing what you get, this changes it so you're indirectly paying for lootboxes.

How are publishers going to make money from lootboxes that way?
