Real world companies always follow real world laws. Real world laws in countries like Ireland as well as almost every country in the world never ban loot boxes or even remotely saying so.
The real world fact is nothing has been said about TH being "gambling", "illegal", or anything even remotely bad. No government is even said to have anything to do with TH, just nobody. That's why you see TH in Runescape as well as all kinds of loot boxes still running everywhere.
So there is the petty lowest common denominator Belgium, but so what? They have a few words on EA's loot boxes but evidently they have done nothing in the real world to bring EA to court. That's why EA is still pushing forward with their loot boxes. Besides, the fact that Belgium did not join the EU coalition against the truly real world gambling websites exposed their cover. Unlike the real world anti-gambling countries, they are not there to tackle real world gambling problems.
Now of course all real world companies have to comply to real world laws. That's why there are still laws like GDPR and common consumer laws they every one needs to follow. But again, everything is fine with TH from all angels because loot boxes are not anything different than skins, virtual currencies, or even real world commerce products like Baseball Cards or even cars.

The gamers rally, so now the real world governments are going after real world traders and 3rd party gamblers. Good for the world.
The blur line between gaming and gambling is becoming more visible every day. Only invisible anti-loot box "laws" are faking away like Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.
What else can gamers do? It is really simple. Their money. They pay for loot boxes just like other services in the games and real world if they want to.

It's not that simple.
Quote the "anti-loot box laws" if they are not fake please. Don't just tell me that GDPR is loot box law. Don't tell me the failed "UK petition" is law. Don't tell me the Failed Chris Lee Loot Box BILLS are laws.

The players who paid almost $30 million for TH alone last year certainly dictated how they spent their money
