In the wake of the Battlefront II loot box controversy, many worldwide governments took notice and rendered opinions on whether these types of microtransactions constitute a form of gambling. Among the few US politicians to take notice were a pair of state legislators from Hawaii, and they’ve put the matter to the state’s attorney general for an official opinion on the legality of loot boxes.
How exactly do Battlefront 2's loot boxes work? Here's how.
State representative Sean Quinlan spoke to Rolling Stone in a more informal setting than last month’s press conference, and it turns out that Quinlan is a pretty savvy gamer who found out about the controversy firsthand while browsing Reddit. Quinlan is aware of the potential for government overreach in regulating loot boxes, and hopes the outcry results in the industry regulating itself.
