LootBoy: What you need to know about it. A quick overview for parents and curious gamers.
!!!Giveaway!!! While trying LootBox, I got 14 games, on Steam, itch.io and Gog. I also got a lot more from different sources, so just ask and I might have (use my contact email to contact me, I can send you the full list). 1 game/person, and once it's gone, it's gone. Please check before that the game is working for you (so you have a Steam/Gog/Itch.io account and your PC can run the game):
Steam:
A Story About My Uncle
War Heroes: Invasion
Ampu-Tea
Anna's Quest
Endless Space - Collection
12 is better than 6
Millennium 4 - Beyond Sunset
Caravan
Worms Revolution
Gog: Deponia
Itch.io:
Dots Extreme
Desert Stormfront
Huntress: The Cursed Village
LootBoy is a new phenomenon, a website and an app where you can loot for packs. These packs are often advertised as allowing to earn virtual money for the most popular games, such as Fortnite, Roblox, GTA V, ...
As we will see, the packs to get virtual money need to be bought, and will not always give you anything for the game advertised on the pack, even if the picture of the packs seems to advertise a sure related-reward.
What you will get instead, and also with the free packs or the diamonds packs, will often be: starter/bonus packs for other F2P games (where you will probably need to spend more to play), coupons for discounts for some shops, old and new steam games.

This video is part of the Ethical Game initiative: https://www.ethical-game.org/
Ethical Game is a tentative to encourage ethical practices in games, and is mostly aimed at reducing abusive Loot Pack, such as here, abusive In-App Purchases, abusive use of Ads, and the use of tricks to make games addictive in order to earn more. Most mobile game nowadays are 90% shop, 10% game, let fight against that!
