Despite the ESA's assertion that loot boxes don't constitute gambling and the industry's efforts to skirt regulations It's clear that the debate over loot boxes continues to rage. With the Netherlands officially declaring certain kinds of loot boxes to be gambling, it'll be fascinating to observe if the rest of Europe will adopt the same policy.
