Oven på Star Wars Battlefront II foretog en række lande undersøgelser, der skulle undersøge om hvorvidt Loot Boxes faldt ind under hasardspilslovgivning. Nogle vurderede at de ikke gjorde, men nogle lande var hårdere end andre, og blandt andet Belgien informerede en række udviklere om, at de enten skulle fjerne Loot Boxes i deres spil, ellers kunne det ende i bøder og fængselsstraf.
Blizzard har nu afsløret via et indlæg på Battle.net, at har i sinde at fjerne Loot Boxes helt fra de belgiske versioner af Overwatch og Heroes of the Storm.
"In April 2018, the Belgian Gaming Commission published a report that was endorsed by the Belgian Ministry of Justice in which they concluded that paid loot boxes in Overwatch are considered gambling under local law."
"While we at Blizzard were surprised by this conclusion and do not share the same opinion, we have decided to comply with their interpretation of Belgian law. As a result, we have no choice but to implement measures that will prevent Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm players located in Belgium from purchasing in-game loot boxes and loot chests with real money and gems."
Nu kalder Blizzard det en "fortolkning" af lovgivningen - dog blev forslaget fremsat af den belgiske harsardspilskomission bakket op af deres justitsministerie.
