https://t.co/ZSEXkZM7ZZ No, EA, loot boxes aren't the same as Kinder eggs. Kinder eggs don't have a 0.03% chance of something relatively valuable inside them. That's what makes them addictive, you absolute pillocks.

*spits out drink*

Excuse me?! This is by far one of the worst excuses ever from EA. Just come the fuck out and admit you're trying to suck as much money out of your consumers as possible! Fuck off, EA.https://t.co/q62dkY2o6F

EA Games told a UK Parliamentary committee yesterday that their loot boxes are not gambling devices...

But "Surprise Mechanics" and that they're ethical.

Wow.https://t.co/r8ZjlH0sKV
