Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft Will Require All Publishers to Disclose Loot Box Odds



The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced a new initiative during a loot box workshop. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo must require all publishers to disclose the odds of in-game loot boxes. To gamers, this may come as a big win, as the practice of implementing these in-game purchases has been poorly received over the years. At least now, gamers will know what the odds are, which can help make more of an informed decision.
The term ?loot box? is one that is often considered a dirty word in the video game community, due to the controversial nature of the virtual item. Games that include them will require you to pay using real world money in exchange for a random selection of in-game items with varying degrees of rarity. In many cases, players receive items that deemed to be useless, which is where the new initiative will come into play.
