I buy a chest of 1000 gems in order to buy X in game. How is that gambling? Sure, some games force the randomness on me through chests with unknown content but that's not what I'm paying for.

"Chest of gems" != Loot box (which is probably what freedom2099 meant when they said "chests")

Not sure why you're telling me that. freedom2099 is the one conflating things. The article is about Rocket League, a game without loot boxes.
