EA says FIFA players love the game's loot boxes.
EA is once again saying something controversial and this time, it's claiming FIFA players love FUT Packs, the game's loot boxes. For many years, loot boxes have been a bit of a plague on the gaming industry. Some of them are harmless, but a lot of them can create problems.
EA is defending FUT Packs and claiming players love them in a new statement to Eurogamer. The statement comes after the UK ruled that it would not regulate loot boxes, something that is being considered in other European countries and has even been banned in Belgium, noting that it was a form of gambling.
"We wholeheartedly believe that Ultimate Team and FUT Packs, which have been part of the game for more than a decade, are a part of FIFA that players love – fans love that the game reflects the real-world excitement and strategy of building and managing a squad," said EA."Giving players the choice to spend if they want to is fair. It's worth saying that spending is entirely optional in our game, and we do not encourage spending over earning rewards through game play.
Given there is an entire genre of videos of people opening FUT Packs on YouTube, there probably are people that do love them. Nevertheless, it is an interesting statement given how controversial loot boxes have been for gaming. The fact that governments are considering regulating them shows there's definitely a stigma about them.0commentsDo you like loot boxes or FUT Packs?
