quote [ Representatives from EA and Epic Games spoke in front of a UK parliamentary panel. They were there to defend the game industry against charges of addictive game mechanics and encouragement of gambling via loot boxes. One of those representatives took issue with the basic premise that randomized item purchases should be labeled as "loot boxes" in the first place.
"That is what we look at as 'surprise mechanics,'" EA Legal and Government Affairs VP Kerry Hopkins told the panel. These surprise mechanics are "quite ethical and fun [and] enjoyable to people... We think it is like many other products that people enjoy in a very healthy way. They like the element of surprise." ] A rose by any other name would still cost you 200 EA Fun Bucks™
