The decision does not apply to every game, instead the courts would have to look at each game to see if loot boxes would be considered gambling or not.
From the article:
Apparently it's not about the loot box itself but that what you get out of it is used in a game that involves skill.
Skill, like predicting the ball on roulette?
I guess I'll have to read the court ruling.
