Lootbox "law", or at least how the not existing law is being applied by certain developers and/or publishers, has started to become pretty silly in the Netherlands. Entire games not releasing... ingame currency lootboxes not being available... and that's not even to speak about how there ISN'T A LAW against most of the lootboxes in the first place. Just a report from our gambling commission.
The message seems clear, if your country dares look into the ethics of lootboxes and you're not as gigantic a market as the US or UK the game developers/publishers will just stop bothering to even attempt to make sense.
Thus we are now at the situation where Black Desert Online consistently puts players at a tangible ingame disadvantage because they can't participate in INGAME events for which INGAME currency is used.
