At the end of last year, we wrote about how the loot box controversy shaped gaming in 2017. Star Wars Battlefront 2's slant on the paid-for virtual items was at the centre of the backlash—and the debate has expectedly rolled into 2018. BF2 publisher EA has since redesigned its development framework and testing process, says the company's executive VP of strategic growth Matt Bilbey, in a bid to make its games "fair and fun." 

In conversation with gamesindustry.biz, Bilbey explains that he and his colleagues are in discussion with organisations such as the Belgian Gaming Commission. This follows the BGC's recent opposition of loot boxes.
