Take-Two Interactive president Karl Slatoff has weighed in on the controversy over loot boxes and gambling, declaring that the company shares the position of the Entertainment Software Association: "We don't view that thing as gambling." 

Interestingly, Slatoff's defense of the not-gambling position sounds less like it's rooted in the legal definition of the term than in the belief that people won't care as long as you don't hose them too badly. "In terms of the consumer—the noise you hear in the market right now—it's all about content and over-delivering on content," he said at the Credit Suisse 21st Annual Technology, Media & Telecom Conference (via Gamespot).
