Blizzard disabling paid loot boxes in Overwatch & Heroes Of The Storm in Belgium

Blizzard are to disable paid loot boxes in their games Overwatch and Heroes Of The Storm for players in Belgium, following the country’s recent ruling that their random grab bags of hats constitute gambling. Players in Belgium will no longer be able to buy loot boxes in either game with money or ‘Gems’, though they will still be able to earn boxes of cosmetic doodads by playing. Blizzard’s change is following similar moves from games including NBA 2K18 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
