    The order comes from Landesgericht für Zivilrechtssachen Wien, which is a regional court in Vienna. The court ruled that these loot boxes violate gambling laws. However, this is a standalone decision, and has no wider impact on the country’s legal position on loot boxes.

    In Austria, civil cases are taken on a case-by-case basis, and the courts are not bound by previous decisions.

    So nothing will come of this.
