Yeah those microtransactions didn't lead to gambling, they are gambling.
Gambling aimed at minors via that lootbox shit was a thing even before videogames - earliest example I'm aware of are baseball cards. Our failure to legislate that shit into the grave at day 1 is why we're in this situation now.
Digital is so much worse than physical, though.
The difference in friction is huge. At least you notice if you buy a grand worth of baseball card packs.
