Loot boxes & Apple, a step in the right direction? (Gaming)
Seems like more reasons for people to complain. And let's face it, the person who micropurchases is the person that will complain the loudest. "The stats said 10% chance but I've bought 15 and not got what I wanted." So then, how do you enforce anything? I can't see how you can, that's why they are called "odds" not "evens"...it's not always fair and guaranteed. So at the end of the day, this disclosure of data is pointless but creates even more complaints.
If even one person sees a drop rate of 1% (or whatever percent) on whatever thing they want and decides to not spend their money on that slot machine, then it's not pointless at all.
More information available to consumers is almost always better than less information, especially when it comes to things that are inherently predatory and deceitful.
