2019-05-29 | Google’s Play Store starts requiring games with loot boxes to disclose their odds - The Verge

'Google now requires Play Store app developers to disclose the odds of receiving items in loot boxes, among several other changes aimed at making its app store more kid-friendly. '

'Belgium recently defined loot boxes as a form of gambling, forcing some companies to either stop offering them or pull games out of the Belgian market. '

'Paid, randomized loot boxes — as opposed to items earned through normal gameplay — have been on lawmakers’ and regulators’ radar for the past few years. '

'The practice has also generated lawsuits: the parents of an underage Fortnite player sued its developer Epic in February, claiming they’d been harmed by its “predatory” Llama loot boxes. '

'China began requiring game companies to disclose the odds of receiving valuable items in 2017, and a new US bill would ban the sale of loot boxes to minors. '
