But the justices say that, in general, loot boxes cannot be taken on their own and must be considered within the context of the game they are part of

    I’d like to see these justices demonstrate the skill involved in opening these loot boxes. What are the hot strats?

      Haven’t read the article, but the argument made in the past for these things has been “The prizes have no value and there is no way to ‘cash out’ therefore it’s not gambling.”

        The argument they gave, cited in the article, is that there’s a skill component to them. By which I’m guessing they mean playing Ultimate Team with the contents of the loot boxes, but it doesn’t get specific. And I still don’t think that would add a skill component to the loot boxes themselves.

    The only possible way that a lot box can be skill based is of they are only given as play rewards. Which I have no problem with. You win a match, you get loot.

    But if you can purchase loot boxes, then skill has nothing to do with it.

      No need, Austrian courts will make stupid decisions on technology all on their own.
