The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has announced that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have come together to force developers and publishers to disclose the odds of all "loot boxes" or similar systems within video games on their platforms. 

In effect, the three largest console platform holders have given game makers an ultimatum. If you want to sell your goods on our platforms, you will have to start publishing your odds. Sadly, these new rules will only apply to future game releases, or games that are updated to add loot box mechanics. These rules are set to be implemented in 2020. 

After this announcement, several major game developers and publishers have pledged to release loot box odds for all new games. This list includes the following ESA member companies; Activision Blizzard, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Bethesda, Bungie, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Take-Two Interactive, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and Wizards of the Coast. 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA
