In the eyes other public in the real world:
- only 3.4% of them players said they buy loot boxes because they are addicted to it.
- 42.1% buy them for fun
- 35.2% buy them to enhance gaming experience.
- only 17.6% buy them to try their luck
- only 17.5% think they should be banned
- average player spent $217 each on loot boxes.
Seemingly a few politicians are severely out-of-touch with the real world when they think loot boxes always mean addiction or gambling. This survey is going to shut some holier-than-thou politicians up especially when players mostly buy loot boxes for fun and to enhance gaming experience.
