I once gambled on those things in the Uncharted 4 Coop Multiplayer.
I realised how stupid this whole thing is after spending around 30€ and swore to never buy them ever again.

Nowadays I fuel my gambling addiction by playing Grapplers in Fighting Games

Lootboxes can be addictive like everything else.
People who have an affinity for addiction should take precautions or play something else.
But the vast majority of players don't have this problem and shouldn't be restricted in the way they pay for their entertainment.
