There's a reason more and more countries ban them. Unless you believe the goverment of those countries have a secret agenda and personnal vendetta gainst mean loot boxes for some reason *puts tin foil hat on*.
PS, it will stick. They are seeing tangible scientific proof of the effects, it's not just some hypothesis.
If you don't believe me read http://platinumparagon.info/the-psychology-of-loot-boxes-and-microtransactions/
At the bottom, he/she puts all his/her sources.
Nope. All of these things focus around 'kids'. Yet don't put the blame on the parents for not overseeing what they're kids are buying WITH THEIR MONEY.
The only issue is when MTX becomes Pay 2 Win. Cosmetic loot boxes have little to no in-game value. Just because it's RNG doesn't make it gambling.
Again, gambling implies 'Money for Money' and the chance to actually lose money. It can't be considered a loss if it's a purchased transaction.
Even if what you get is low or no in-game value (which is subjective) you never actually lose more than you put in.
