Strange. I see consumer protection. Governments have to do that because companies don't really care about the human aspect when making money. It didn't start with lootboxes.

People are responsible for themselves.  If you don't like loot boxes so much, don't play those games.  Or, do like I do (I don't like loot boxes), and just don't buy the boxes

 

That's not how it works. A country is a state, a society. It needs to protect it's citizens to be able to function properly. This includes protecting minors above all and protecting citizens from predatory behaviour. You are part of a society, you don't live "by yourself". People in society help protect each other. It's how we survived, and it's why they exist.
