    Ok, but what would be the legal precendent there? We regulate tabacco precisely because of it’s psychological and medical effects, not because it’s bad for your wallet. This lawsuit depends upon a claim of addiction because you can’t just regulate something for annoying you.

      Call it what it is. At the very least, loot boxes and the like should be considered outright gambling – which is highly regulated.
