Probably won't make a difference, but at least they're trying to fight this shit.
Well thats one way to ensure that OpenCritic remains completely irrelevant to the industry at large.

The companies have teams of lawyers that have assured them it's not illegal. I mean it's been explained 100 times just on GAF how a purchase that has a 100% win rate by definition isn't gambling anymore than Pokemon or Magic cards are.
It's defied the odds and become a somewhat standard along side Metacritic, but you know, not being assholes at their jobs. They fight the good fight for the good of the industry and for the consumers at large. If anything, this will probably bring them more attention, and in a good way.
Then don't call it a "review aggregator". Post info about lenght, engine, price etc. Why just lootboxes?
Because legal is the definition of ethical.
I would love for such to be the case.
But legal these days (ie recorded history) just means that the rich and powerful can use the government to forcibly punish those who do not capitulate to their evil machinations, more often than not. Particularly within the spheres of "business".
Fuck legal. I want correct, humane behavior.

Good on them, but it's not going to make a damn bit of difference.

Seems weird to do this with loot boxes and not all the other anti-consumer stuff going on already. Are they going to have indicators for exclusive DLC, premium memberships/season passes, blocking cross-platform play, games that cut content to release as paid DLC, and review embargoes that try to minimize information for consumers before release?

Nice, this is good.
Baby steps.
