So what is the "process"? What laws? Anything happened to EA? What news?

Nothing!
Lawmakers are slower to respond since putting law in place takes time, but selling stocks is a much quicker process! Not just EA but you can look at Blizzard Activision too!

So there are no laws whatsoever as you can see.

And again, again and again, governments don't sell stocks of EA and ATVI and they can't since they don't own any shares of these stocks. Loot boxes can't be blamed for falling stock prices neither as poor sales of games like WoW, Diablo, Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V with no loot boxes were cited in many analysts reports.

Please don't drag this thread further into non-government regulations topic as there is already a thread about TH just few posts down from here:

I'm not saying that lawmakers are buying stock! You're the one making that up. I was merely answering your question:

Anything happened to EA?

This thread is about government regulations and no governments is doing anything to EA. Please explain what stock price of a company has to do with government regulations?

Not only are the governments of the entire world all mum on video game loot boxes since April, 2018, they are also mum on real live "loot boxes" with real life prizes like this:

That's right. If nobody cares about people selling real life mystery boxes with real life prizes of real life values, how can one tackle the virtual Game of chance in a virtual game world for virtual items that can't be cashed out of the game like TH?

Wow, crazy, a controversy that blew up only a week ago has not had any legal repercussions yet? WTF why is my government not doing things instantly? Its almost like there's some sort of bureaucracy in place that slows things down, almost like there are legal procedures to go through, almost like there are paperworks to go through, almost like there are lawyers to hire and courtrooms to book. Wow, you're so completely right, these things are completely OK because no action has been taken after one entire week of the issue coming to light!

How do I add more sarcasm?

WoW. I'd really love to see what the governments will do to this "mystery boxes" internet celebrity, especially theat Belgium Minister of whatever. Oh wait... he did not even make good on his holy crusade promise against online gambling by joining force with the 15 EU countries and Washington State when he learned their real purpose is to tackle the real world 3rd party skin gambling. What a farce!!!
