'Nintendo boss Reggie Fils-Aimé has weighed in on loot boxes, and thinks they’ve had a “bad rap”. '
'Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aimé says other developers have “made some mistakes” when it comes to paid digital content.“Loot boxes, broadly speaking, have gotten a bit of a bad rap. '
'The game mechanic of buying something that you’re not sure what’s inside is as old as baseball cards,” he told Bloomberg. '

'
