| Resumo: | This dissertation focuses on loot boxes or surprise boxes, a product offered in electronic games,
and the regularity of this practice in the face of protection standards of consumers, children and
adolescents. As it is a relatively recent market practice, the analysis of the legality of loot boxes
still needs further development, especially considering the profile of a substantial part of the
target audience: children and adolescents. The objective is, therefore, to describe and
conceptualize the mechanics of loot boxes in the commercialization of electronic games and
the modality of this mechanics in view of the protections guaranteed by the Brazilian State to
consumers, children and adolescents. Therefore, it is intended to discuss the regularity of the
information provided in the sale of surprise boxes, the way in which this type of product is
commonly offered, and the consequences caused by consumption, such as the incentive to the
practice related to betting, the excessive spending amount and the supposed illusory offer to the
user. Based on a hypothetical-deductive method, of an applied nature with a qualitative
approach and bibliographical research, this research concludes, among other notes, that loot
boxes constitute an abusive practice, violating the duty of transparency and generating a
manifestly excessive advantage. Regarding children and adolescents, it is suggested that sales
be prohibited to this public, given the psychological risks generated by its consumption. |
