I hope it expands to other companies like blizzard and EA. Loot boxes are predatory and no fun.

I think the critical part here is that 3rd parties can cash out in-game currency, which makes money laundering possible. With big game publishers the money can only flow into their own pockets with microtransactions.

This has no resemblance to anything companies like blizzard and ea do.
