    I think there’s a core difference between loot boxes, which is out and out gambling, and gameplay. Both can be addictive, but they have very different consequences.

    Gameplay addiction steals your time and maybe your social life, but that’s it.

    Gambling addiction also steals your money. And when that’s gone, drives you to extremes trying to find more.
