Honestly, I think lootboxes are easy tools to abuse for developers and publishers, especially big AAA devs like EA and Activision who have shown and even filed patents for systems using psychological manipulation tactics. I don't trust them, and they have shown they have no interest in trying to control themselves in the pursuit of money.
It's honestly up to gamers to show lawmakers what lootboxes are and how they can be abused, while at the same time showing them why loot based games like borderlands and others don't fall under the same category. One is an RNG machine designed to get you to spend as much money as possible to get what you what, another is a gameplay mechanic designed to reward you for actually playing the game.
