So I'm sure many people have heard already but a US senator just proposed a bill that would essentially eliminate games from selling loot boxes for in games items. This bill already has bipartisan support and there's a chance it could pass.
How might SK stay alive if the US and other countries start banning boxes? I'm curious to see everyone's opinion as this is something that could greatly damage SK
This bill is a long ways out if it even gets passed into law, so Gray Havens has a long time to contemplate a plan to comply with the proposed law. The game would most likely just remove the loot box related items and replace them with something else. I don't have any hard figures on how this would effect Gray Havens profit so I can't say how it might effect them as a company, but from a mechanical standpoint, the game's loot boxes are not really a core part of the experience(100+ hours and I've never even bought a loot box). They might not even be removed if they only contain cosmic stuff.
