Your tastes may change and you might have changed as a person as you aged but there’s nothing to “grow out of”. Games aren’t inherently childish. Certain ones can be, but games as a whole aren’t
There are still loot boxes in Belgium, they just work differently. You get to see what is inside before you start the transaction, allowing a person to only open the ones with contents they want.

Loot boxes and microtransactions made me hate playing videogames.
Even the benign psychological manipulation away from just starting a game and enjoying it that is achievements is annoying
Yeah. I think part of it is just that I’ve grown out of them. But part of it is enshittification.

Luckily for you, there’s more games without any loot boxes or micro transactions than you can play in your lifetime.
Some European countries have banned them already. Belgium and the Netherlands as an example.
