Governments certainly are not obligated to intervene. They are just butting their head in, like they do everywhere.
And, it seems to me that the industry is self-regulating just fine. They pulled back on loot boxes significantly once the public outcry grew. At this point, I don't see them as anything remotely close to a problem. They exist in some games, but they're not a big deal.
Regardless of that, government intervention always causes problems. They do a bad job of just about everything, as it seems that governments in general just don't get the concept of "unintended consequences." Gaming is likely to get a taste of their ruination here.
