The classically understood merger and acquisition in Polish legal doctrine concern issues closely related to private economic law. In the classical understanding of these concepts, a merger is a combination of two or more companies as a result of which they create one entity. A takeover also occurs in the Polish legal system, but this institution differs from a merger. As a result of a takeover, no new legal entity is created, and the acquiring company gains control over the assets and activities of the acquired company. Both institutions are regulated by the Commercial Companies Code, where both of these institutions are regulated in Title IV of the aforementioned code. The M&A can also be understood more broadly, as the purchase of technology or organised part of the enterprise.

What are Loot boxes
Loot boxes are boxes in a virtual environment to be purchased through micropayments (e.g.: in games) or premium currency, with the help of which the user draws a digital item that changes the appearance of the character or items (so-called skins) or items that can affect the course of the game. Loot box can be understood as an element of computer games, virtual boxes containing randomly selected virtual items that make it easier for the player to move to the next levels of the game. They can be purchased for real money using micropayments or for virtual money earned in the game. [1] To better illustrate, we can give the example of the game Counter Strike 2. In this game, after finishing the game, the player can receive a box, which requires a key to open, costing about $ 2.50. When the player buys this key, by transferring his money, he can draw a “skin” for the weapon, which changes its appearance and has a specific value expressed in different currencies. As a curiosity, we can say that the most expensive “skin” for this game is worth 400 thousand dollars [2].
