The UK government has told the gaming industry to stop giving kids access to loot boxes over fears that it leads to gambling addiction. It wants them to self-regulate but is open to legislating.
The UK government has had a meeting with several games companies, technology firms, and industry representatives to tackle the issue of loot boxes in games, according to The Telegraph (via Yahoo! Finance). The main problem with loot boxes is that you pay first and find out what’s inside later.
