Just my thoughts on this I replied. But that is expected of those places, not of a game we hide away from the outside world to play and enjoy. It's disgusting and the fact you are defending loot boxes shows how little you care about gaming. Lootboxes hurt games, and are nothing but devs spitting in the faces of players. Look at PUBG, I can pay 27 pounds for 1 map, that's in beta and has loot boxes they said they wouldn't add. Then on the flipside where I think they are done right. Gwent, a free to play witcher card game where you can buy kegs to get a few extra cards. AIn the game though, winning your first 66 rounds gives you decreasingly good bonuses. If I play 3 games and win 6 rounds, effectively winning 3 games in a row I am giving 100 ore, play 15 for playing if my opponent GGs me, 100 ore allows me to buy a keg. I can get scraps from dismantling cards that with enough allow me to create a new card, that I can see the details of right in front of me. Not locked behind rng. every 2 rounds I win I get either 1 keg, 15 ore, 15 scraps or 15 moondust to animate the cards. Up to 66 wins a day. Also for playing ranked, every 3 ranks I gain I get an increasingly big amount of each thing, same with levelling up. At the end of the season, I can earn up to 30 kegs and 1500 scrap and 1000 moondust just for being a rank.
