Diskussionen om Loot Boxes og kontroversielle monetariseringsstrategier fortsætter med at være et omdiskuteret emne i spilbranchen, og for nylig besluttede den hollandske regering at en række store spil, deriblandt PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, forbryder sig imod landets regler om hasardspil. Der sker altså noget, men kritikken kommer ikke kun udefra, den kommer også indefra.
I den seneste udgave af Official Xbox Magazine fortæller chefen for Rebellion, Jason Kingsley, at han mener at Loot Boxes er en katastrofe for branchen, og her taler han ikke kun om PR, men også om gameplay. Han taler specifikt om de implementering hvor Loot Boxes påvirker spillets balance.
"I think the idea of giving players more cool stuff to consume in a game is good. The idea of being able to buy wins is bad- I think it's intrinsically against the nature of games. It sees unfair. It would be like having a football match in which one side can pay more money to have 13 players, you know? Loot boxes done really badly are a disaster- they're a PR disaster they're a gameplay disaster, they're a disaster in every way possible, and they undermine the value of a game. So I think we're in that awkward phase of a new business model that is kind of flailing around trying to find a good place. There are some good implementations of loot boxes that everybody's okay with, and there are some terrible implementations that a large number of people are not okay with."
Synes du at Loot Boxes bør forsvinde, og hvis ja, er det så kun dem der påvirker gameplay der skal tage benene på nakken?
