I'll write this here because it belongs to Pes future.
The anti lootboxes and pay to win bill proposed by the republican deputy is now supported by democrats too, so it seems like the bill won't have too much trouble to be approved.
Imagine if the bill is approved and paytowin games and lootboxes games are banned in USA. That will be huge for EA, but it will be huge for Pes too. After USA many more countries will follow, not even counting USA is one of the biggest market for games and it will already have a big impact on EA's earnings (not so much on Konami's).
One thing is a tiny country like Belgium banning lootboxes, another one is such a huge country as USA banning both lootboxes and paytowin games.
Software houses would be forced to actually improve their games instead of using virtual slot machines as their cash cows. No more Myclub, or no more Myclub as it is right now, back to Online Master League that was the greatest idea Konami had before they trashed it starting with Pes 2015.
