Consumer groups in 18 European countries have backed a report calling gaming loot boxes “exploitative.” The contents of the virtual boxes are only revealed through either game play or by making a payment. While some contain useful tools or desirable extras which improve the experience, others are worthless. Critics say the boxes are a form of gambling because players cannot see what they have actually bought until after they have paid to open the contents. Do you think that game loot boxes is thriving on manipulation ?
