EA: we don't call them lootboxes... we call them surprsise mechanics!!! ROFL :mjlol:

Bro, it’s great to see EA get blasted over this, but when are the other scummy publishers getting this treatment? Take Two is just as bad, IF NOT WORSE, than EA. Take a look at NBA 2K, GTAV, and RDR2 and tell me I’m wrong.

NBA 2K has been thoroughly ruined. They did the same thing to smackdown as well. Cut features out of the game and then put them back in years later advertising what they put back in to try selling this years edition. Hide wrestlers who’d been in the games for years behind a paywall all of a sudden. Remove story mode for several years and give no replacement.

Ubisoft does this to a lesser extend since u can beat most of their games without having too buy anything,some are just time savers but optional

2k made it impossible to level up in a reasonable time. they let people buy $50 of VC just to get to 85 overall. way more scammy than EA ever did...

"surprise mechanics" :edlol:

Don’t even make any sense. It HAS to be some legal term or saying it is a watchdog out legally.


What the hell is the surprise? I pay my money and get xp. Ain’t no goddamn surprise nor a mechanic to it.

You’re confusing two things breh.

Companies can charge for VC to upgrade or DLC or pay to buy a costume, or gun or whatever.

Now that I typed what I did above.........

The “loot box” refers only to paying for a random item. Like pulling a slot machine. Might get 1 million, might get 2 cents. But you spending $1 either way

Well that’s gambling. You are paying money for a game of chance. It’s not expressed before your purchase, exactly what you are getting. If I pay $50 I get 50k VC.... that’s different from if pay $50, I’ll get a random amount that could be 10 or 100k VC.

Well now you gambling your $1 on how much VC. That’s their “surprise mechanic” cause it’s a surprise what you gonna get.

Motherfukkers are shameless

This is how bad 2k was this year.... I never spent any money... been playing since release day... go to the training room to get badges after every game

Now its after the real NBA finals .... I'm a level 83 with the VC ive earned, while playing the handheld app. If I max out I'm still only at 90 and I've grinded the entire year to unlock
the extra stat points but I still max out at 90... even after all of that playing and multiple seasons played. 50 point games etc. I honestly never got good at this one because my guy was always
1-3 points from the wall of getting elite dribble moves. I'm out here baking nikkas with basically highschool dribbles... thats completely fukking insane for a game I paid for. I made a 3pt shooter and slasher.
I think my max rating for 3 pointers can only be 78 ... so how the fukk am I a shooting specialist base game is a fukking joke.

Myteam is okay but basically a pay to win thing too... its a straight fukking card casino.

You're describing 2K's MyTeam mode with packs which are loot boxes. A mode which pretty much pushes child gambling as acceptable. They even have a pachinko machine as a mechanic to get rewards

My bad. I never played that shyt. On madden either. fukking leeches. Got kid slot machines for corny ass “cards”. That really are the same time player each time, with random stat changes.

I hope they sue these dudes to oblivion

They have been. Anthem flopped and they hiding it.

It's not enough... Madden & Fifa sales need to drop too...

 

[Damnshow]

This is the most shameless the most embarrassing shyt in gaming industry I've ever seen. Lootboxes are nothing but a god damn casino where kids can participate too if their parents let them buy these bullshyt ass lootboxes.

I hope they keep torrenting these video games as a big fukk YOU

Used to be a grindfest back in the days, if you're good player you will unlock everything. Now most of the goofballs play the game not to enjoy but to unlock achievements and other shyt. No wonder gaming companies make a ton money off this, there will always be enough idiots

 

[levitate]

I really don't see the problem with loot boxes..

 

[Easy-E]

That's another thing; those are casual gamers who literally don't care.

Remember, micro-transaction are literally only bough by 7% of gamers. But, they will spent $10,000 on one game.
