“This is particularly concerning because many games with loot boxes are also geared toward kids and minors. We believe that many of these tricks add up to unfair and predatory practices,” read the report. “ Companies employ a lot of tricks to push consumers into spending money on loot boxes. The European Consumer Organization, which includes 46 consumer organizations from 32 different countries, has also backed the report. If you do manage to play the game on PC and mobile, as long as you use the same account on both, the cross-save should still work as intended.”Īt least 18 other European countries and organizations have also backed the banning of lootboxes according to a report from the Norwegian Consumer Council.

Expectant gamers in Belgium and the Netherlands, however, won’t be getting the game at all as the two countries have blocked its launch in their respective nations on account of its lootboxes, which are deemed illegal under their gambling laws. Diablo Immortal is officially launching worldwide tomorrow with the exception of several Southeast Asian countries which will be getting the mobile Diablo game later this month.
