The EA Loot Box Drama Thread

[Miles]

I'm usually not a fan of the idea of games getting regulated for their content, but this is a situation I feel actually calls for it.

So, bit of a development going on. Some high up people in the US are trying their hand at getting some legislative action going, and have the goal to at the very least put some pressure on the corporate entities pushing these gambleboxes to tone it down or make it more fair. At the forefront of this battle is Hawaii state representative Chris Lee, who is also a gamer himself and as such seems to be very knowledgeable on multiple angles of this subject. Also he's apparently just a cool dude to start with.

Check these out:

Mighty interesting development, I'd say.
