Special: Loot Box Controversy with Dr Zendle - a podcast by FIFA Ultimate Team Weekly

Ben is joined by York St John University’s Dr David Zendle for a deep dive into some serious Loot Box controversy. David published a recent paper linking loot boxes and problem gambling, which has raised serious social concerns. He explained why he defines Ultimate Team packs as loot boxes, where they are such a concern, why Kinder Eggs are not, and just how serious could the impact on FIFA be?



The special is part one of a two podcast series about loot boxes (next podcast date TBC), the second will feature a panel discussion about the mechanic and what a loot box-less FUT might mean!Regular FUT Weekly podcasts will always be free - but to get the podcast weekly (via bonus podcasts), and much more, support the pod by becoming a Gold or Icon patron!
