I believe they've reversed this as it was a way to get people to buy silver, to then buy bright engrams. And a law is being passed in Europe that makes lootboxes and purchases of in game currency that buy RNG items, classed as gambling. So it wouldn't surprise me if they are trying to make headway on this. Either way, it shouldn't take news stories to make changes happen.
