Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games

Lootbox systems are designed to be addictive as it’s paying money to recieve a prize with very bad odds. Glad my country banned them a while ago.

The problem with a battle pass is that you pay for the chance to maybe get something.
If you can’t play or don’t pay well enough, it’s wasted money
With a loot box you get something right now. It might be shit but at least it’s on your account

I’m drawing the line at paying for a thing that might be good or bad, mechanics like that are addictive especially to children
