Part 2/10:
Recently, EA found itself embroiled in legal battles when the Netherlands declared loot boxes as a form of gambling. This ruling surfaced after extensive legal scrutiny, with regulators concluding that loot boxes meet the criteria of gambling because they involve a chance-based outcome that players pay for with real money. As a result, EA is now facing a €10 million (roughly $12 million USD) fine, marking a significant legal challenge for the company.
