Publisher Square Enix announced that it would be pulling three of its most popular mobile games — Mobius Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts Union X, and Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia — from stores in Belgium due to legal issues with the use of loot boxes in the games.
The controversy over loot boxes in games has picked up once again. Publisher Square Enix announced that it would be pulling three mobile games from stores in Belgium due to the availability of loot boxes which contravene local gambling laws. And these were not minor games, either — the three titles are Mobius Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts Union X, and Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia, three of the publisher’s most popular mobile games.
Loot boxes are reward systems which can be purchased either with virtual or real money and which give out randomized in-game prizes.
