ESRB to add loot box disclaimer in video game ratings

After months of debate about the moral implications of loot boxes in video games, in-game purchases like those are finally being recognized by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).

The ESRB, the preeminent video game rating system in the Unites States, announced Tuesday that it will be adding a new label to video games that include in-game purchases and loot boxes to make players and parents aware of what they are buying.
