https://wccftech.com/lootboxes-battlefront-ii-investigated/ >The Dutch and Belgian Gaming Authority  are investigating the presence of ‘lootboxes’ in recent games such as EA’s Star Wars Battlefront II and Activision’s Call of Duty: WWII. >Following community outrage over Battlefront II’s controversial progression system and lootboxes, EA decided to temporarily remove microtransactions from their new title. As it turns out however, the Gaming Authories in the Benelux are now investigating whether games containing ‘lootboxes’ can or have to be classified as online gambling games, which are currently illegal in the various countries. Since credits or a ‘price’ can be earned, a license would be required, but a licensing system isn’t active yet for online gambling games.
