Lootboxes should be restricted to adults (and it's on the company to insure the person buying it is an adult just like Alcohol). That also means not MARKETING to kids. They should also have the odds clearly posted somewhere.
Do those 2 things and I may not like lootboxes... but think under those circumstances they should be allowed to continue.
Lootboxes should not be banned becuase of subject morales.

As to loot boxes, IMO they are gambling. Because what is the main reason most people buy them, it's a CHANCE to get the desired item. Therefore not much different then say buying a lottery ticket. Sure you always get something, but off times it's not what you wanted. So I'm all for the investigation of loot boxes in video games.
Are those quarter sticker machines gambling also? How about a gumball machine?
In the strictest sense of definition, sure.
And if all of a sudden those gumball machines were taking in hundreds of dollars from folks at a time for random gumballs, likely it would've hit society-at-large's radar as an issue. None of that absolves the lootbox situation in video games.
Folks keep trying to make physical item comparisons to digital goods. Your argument is flawed from the get-go when you do that.
I would like to welcome you to the digital age.
So when I send out my procedure to the workforce and they open it on a tablet is that different from them printing it out on physical paper?
We dont use physical paper we use tablets now. There is no difference.
If a person spends $100 on a pack of cards for a chance for that rare card there is no difference if that same person spends $100 on a loot box for that rare outfit.
Its 2018 probably time to accept we are in a digital age.
I own the cards and if the company that sells the cards disappears tomorrow, I still have the cards and they might even increase in value.
I never own the the rare outfit and if the company decides to close the game tomorrow because sales are slow and they have a new game your SoL.
It's 2018
Time for some ground rules concerning pixel pants.
The ground rules concerning pixel pants falls on the consumer. If a consumer find more value in those pants then a gumball it doesnt matter what some random posters say on a random website. To them is worth the money and provides value.
The arguement is not flawed. A person thinking their opinion is the only one that matters is flawed.
The consumer's desire to have those pants has no bearing on ownership or marketing, though.
Sone people find value in watching two girls eat a dude's shit. You don't legislate regulations based on perceived personal value, because that's a tangled mess that no one agrees on due to its subjectivity.
Any comparison made by lawmakers between digital and physical goods will focus on the way the law currently treats them and the real actions taken by the industry. Not "well yeah, but folks seem to like skins, so they can sell and market them however they like!"
Ok then using your argument here, You claim digital and physical goods are not the same and should not be compared. But EVERY person so far who claims loot boxes are gambling equates them to slot machines, casinos and lottery tickets.
You can't have it both ways.
How are you not shouting down every person who compares DIGITAL loot boxes to real life PHYSICAL items like slot machines and casinos?

Lootboxes should not be banned becuase of subject morales. What next, ban chocolate?
Which part of my 4 sentence post did you somehow misread to see me say they should be banned? I said they should be restricted to adults same as alcohol, or gambling.

Why are you conflating the issue with alcohol?
Its an example of something civilized society has determined should be regulated and restricted to adults.

Banned =/= regulated.
Well exclude children from partaking.
And that is where the contention lies. How do we do that in a digital medium in which age verification rarely goes beyond providing a birthday.
If you try to purchase alcohol, you can't just give the cashier your birthday. They have to check your ID if they have reasonable suspicion, or they are legally accountable. The same goes for the bouncer at a casino. That's why online and app casinos are contentious and online gambling on a U.S.-based website is illegal.

Hmm weird you think only adults drink.
That is irrelevant. Having worked in retail, cashiers are legally responsible for their alcohol sales (and the same goes for bartenders). If the cashier makes an alcohol sale to a minor or knowingly makes an alcohol sale to someone who expressly intends to give said alcohol to a minor other than their own child at their own home, that cashier is open to fines and potential jail time.

Because their point is the same variable reward mechanics are being employed to entice purchases. Casinos pay out the same thing being risked, which can be a virtual or physical monetary balance. Sure, note that they're comparing physical to digital, but I'll just come back and note that yea, they're different: the situation with digital "goods" is much worse than the situation with risking money to possibly win more money. Because if you win the money, it's yours once you cash it out. Winning a digital item is just winning temporary value that's subject completely to the whims of the entity that still actually owns the good, and that ain't you.

You mean like this guy who spent $10k on FIFA before realizing he was getting taken?
All the goodness in your hearts aside, I am sure the whole process of verifying your country (since different countries will have different rules) and your age is going to be such a delight - if you have ever done any online gambling you'd know what a terrible mess that is. And any kid can create a fake ID and a fake proof of address with online tools these days. So good luck with that.
I'd like to see a solid study regarding how many kids are actually suffering from gambling problems caused by lootboxes and if there are any more sane and practical ways to prevent that from happening - then put all the adults through hell for wanting to play a freaking game with bunch of other divorced retired bitter old men. You wouldn't get the best for everyone just because you want it sincerely.
I'd stay away from any game that would enforce such rules. And I bet, you all would too. My proof of address to play League of Legends? Fuck off indeed.
