Ted Cruz and Asmongold may be sitting down to talk about loot boxes in the near future after the US Senator responded to the Twitch streamer’s concerns regarding in-game monetization. Loot boxes have become an incredibly prevalent talking point in the gaming industry over the last decade, even resulting in some legal action from certain countries after it got out of hand. Although a lot of major publishers have since shifted to things like battle passes or just outright microtransactions with no random qualifiers, loot boxes still exist in a number of games including major sports titles like FIFA. Some of these games can promote the idea that if you pay enough money, you can get the best items in the game and be better than other players, but in reality the loot boxes are designed to rarely give you the best items.
Never in my life did I imagine a US senator would engage in a conversation with me regarding P2W and lootboxes in video games LOLVery excited! https://t.co/2g8H5i76p5
