This like the loot crates style gambling, or the more casino style gambling?

It'd be fucking great to see some action taken against the loot crate cancer, not just because it's predatory gambling aimed at minors, but because it's destroyed the quality of the gaming industry's products... the latter obviously not being grounds for legal action, but as a consumer, fuck that noise.
