Fortnite doesn't have loot boxes.

GP didn't say that Fortnite has loot boxes; they used loot boxes as a point of comparison with actual gambling.

what about those pinatas? are those still in the game? that's very much a loot box if so.

You mean the things that fall from the sky in the game? You don't pay for them, and the stuff in them only lasts for that one game.
