OpenCritic, one of the biggest game review aggregation sites, is throwing its weight behind the ensuing uproar about microtransactions. The website announced on Twitter that it planned to “take a stand against loot boxes,” updating its display filters to warn customers of the nature of paid content in games.

“We’re looking into ways to add business model information to OpenCritic,” the first of several tweets reads. “Let us know your thoughts on how we can categorize and display ‘business model intrusiveness’ on game pages in a fair and scalable way.”
