LOS ANGELES: The UK Parliament will hold an inquiry regarding gaming disorder and addictive immersive technologies on Feb 27, according to its official government website.

Loot boxes were specifically mentioned in the notice, examining the link between the randomised contents of the purchasable in-game boxes might have links to gambling behaviours, according to the inquiry notice.
