Games companies including activision blizzard have already asked players to complain on there behalf to governments… 3) something I haven’t thought of. 2) Blizzard is hoping that enough Belgium players complain about the crappy experience (that blizzard themselves created) so that the government reverts the changes. This could be for many reasons such as: 1) if blizzard improved the drop rates so that paying for lootboxes wasn’t needed, other players in different countries would complain that they still have to pay to get the same experience as Belgium players. So Belgium banned ‘paid’ lootboxes for overwatch in August (I think) but unlike battlefront and shadow of war, overwatch hasn’t improved the drop rates of items and reduced duplicates, or if they have they haven’t made it public knowledge. Once those games removed lootboxes they were forced to improve the drop rates of said items and restructure their economies proving that they intentionally created an artificial grind to promote their loot boxes. So as games such as starwars battlefront and shadow of war have shown us, games deliberate lower drop rates of items and create a ‘slow grind’ environment to manipulate players into buying lootboxes in hopes of getting the item they want, especially during events.
