So? Its pretty transparently nontransparent. Again, no trickery is there. Its a terrible silly purchase on its face in any event, no matter what imaginary items you receive.

You sure its me who doesn’t understand the concept of “tricking”? Cause nowhere in those 3 paragraphs did you describe any “tricks.” Where is the lie?? Everything you just said is public knowledge. People know when they make their lootbox purchase that there are no guarantees and they choose to do it anyway. Buying…
Uhh you are so so so wrong on so many levels.
Nobody tricked you into thinking that an imaginary hat for your character has any value. Nobody tricked you into believing that one imaginary hat was more valuable than the other because that hat’s font was written in purple (Legendary!) font. You and everyone did that to themselves.
AAA video games are not mobile games. There are not youtube channels with millions of follower dedicated to opening loot boxes in mobile games like there are in AAA.
Nah, its not subjective, its not an issue. We like lootboxes and the numbers show it. The small number of people complaining like you dont really matter in comparison. If by get “worse” you mean more games have it, so what? who cares? dont buy them then.
“And whether or not they fit the legal definition is a meaningless point.” Nah its literally the only point.
Hahah Right its just a couple people accounting for billions upon billions of dollars worth of revenue. Get real man.
Lol So you don’t support the substance of your statement then? just an excuse to drop an incomprehensible 20 year old reference?
Lol you really love using a ton of adjectives but dont seem to love justifying their use very much.
Sorry but no other scale IS relevant. These are corporations not public trusts.
I agree that they can go too far, but it hasn’t happened yet and when it does, people just wont buy them. I admit I’m mostly responding to Heather’s article from yesterday, that cosmetic overwatch lootboxes were “economic violence.”
Haha No worries, (and for the record, you’ve been one of the most resonable ppl around here for years, props4that)
I believe this is called “biting your nose to spite your face.”
uhhhhh you know “value” isnt a subjective term right? refers to the actual monetary worth of the industry......
(edited: that was more hostile than it needed to be. I hate being at work on a Saturday sorry haha)
WHY? They are NEVER going away. They make an insane amount of money and, most importantly We Want Them. So basically you’re saying “I’m going to be an annoying dick because im upset people like a thing that I dont like.”
Wtf does that even mean? Since you you didn’t know that they dedicated 2 seasons to trump its pretty clear you dont know how hard they tried in the first place.....
(think you responded to me by accident btw, sounds like we totally agree here)
