Take-Two say loot boxes are not gambling, and can make players "really happy" if done well

GTA and Civilization publishers Take-Two do not view loot boxes as gambling, according to their president Karl Slatoff.

How many of these exciting upcoming PC games will have loot boxes?

Slatoff was speaking at a media and technology conference organised by Credit Suisse (as reported by Gamespot). Of loot box mechanics, Slatoff says:

“We don't view that thing as gambling… our view of it is the same as the [Entertainment Software Association] statement for the most part; so [potential legislation is] going to play its course.”
