The creators of Rocket League will remove loot boxes from the game

Psyonix and Epic Games talked about the planned changes in Rocket League β€” developers will remove paid containers with random rewards from the project. The reason for the decision was not disclosed, but it is likely due to the extensive discussion about the ban on loot boxes.

Psyonix noted thethat now users who want to buy a chest will see in advance the reward that they will get. Whether this will apply to all in-game containers or individual types has not yet been disclosed. The company promised to provide details later. The developers plan to keep the rest of the content of the in-game store.

Recall that at the end of July, the UK gambling commission did not recognize gambling loot boxes. The agency held a meeting with representatives of Electronic Arts and, based on its results, it was determined that this is an acceptable game mechanic. The head of the commission said that loot boxes do not fit the concept of gambling, because after the drawing, the user must receive money or its equivalent.
