Super hard disagree. I do like me some Magic the Gathering and CCGs in general. If anything I'm say more concerned with the increasing trend of real world blind pack collectibles aimed exclusively at kids than I am with online loot boxes, which is something most of the industry has abandoned anyway after the panic went viral.
But nope, absolutely not. Loot boxes aren't worth forcing online age verification any more than porn was a few months ago when we were all mad because the UK did it. And absolutely no, I am an adult and if I want to gamble online, let alone buy loot boxes in a videogame, I absolutely should be happy to do that.
So is alcohol and I will have a beer regardless of what you or anybody else thinks about it. Screw you, you don't get to monitor my addictions, I'm a big boy.

I don’t care. Loot boxes are gambling, which is addictive and frankly evil.

And guess what: we ID you if you want to ingest alcohol. Great analogy.
