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. |

Thats what the ESRB is for, which is a private non profit cartel , it was found by these companies for self regulation in the first place. The ESRB failed to regulate the madness and didnt step in when people demanded it. Thats why the government is and has to be involved.

So Overwatch having looboxes is okay but it isnt for EA? They should also get punished and force them to use the currency only, i dont see how that would be bad for the game and especially for gamers?
