One topic that has generated a lot of buzz and discussion in gaming lately is loot boxes. Not everyone is thrilled with their implementation. One game that uses them is Blizzard's Overwatch. Every time you hit a new level, you get a loot box that comes with a random cluster of cosmetic items. Alternatively, you can buy loot boxes with money. Not every game handles loot box systems the same way, leading to some amount of controversy. Overwatch doesn't belong in this conversation, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said in a new interview with Game Informer.

"I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with crates that give you randomized items," he told the publication. "I think that whatever the controversy is, I don't think Overwatch belongs in that controversy."
