As regulatory bodies consider whether or not loot boxes in videogames should be considered a form of gambling, a group of "industry leaders and experts" has come together to form a new advocacy group called the National Committee for Games Policy. The organization said in a press release that it was not formed to espouse any particular political positions, but rather to "give policy makers the information they need to make informed decision[s]." 

"Unlike the IGDA, we are not an association of game developers. We are a coalition of high level industry experts and influencers," the NCGP said. "Membership in the NCGP is by invite only. We will work on the behalf of games industry professionals of all political leanings. In order to do this, the NCGP has appointed a steering committee with significant political experience on both ends of the spectrum. Where videogames, politics, and law intersect, you will be sure to find the NCGP."
