Valve updates loot box reward system

Valve Corporation, the US-based game developers, has updated its Dota 2 game with modified loot box reward system. The new update ensures that the loot box treasures will show odds of acquiring items of different rarities ahead of the purchase.

“We’ve also taken this opportunity to simplify and rework the way we calculate escalating odds for this treasure and going forward,” reads the official blog post. “You can now click on the escalating odds arrow next to each of the rare, very rare, or extremely rare drops to see the exact odds of receiving them based on how many you’ve already opened.”

Disclosing loot box reward odds has often been suggested as a possible solution in conversations with a number of governments seeking to regulate loot boxes as gambling, and several Asian countries already require the disclosure.
