If there's nothing sinister about any of this then why can't the player forego it and buy the item in question outright? Why aren't both options available. Have the fun of winning it maybe for less than the price it cost directly.

that would make it cross the line into what is gambling, as it would clearly establish a greater monetary value for the possible prize. as it is now, anything that you get from a lootbox has the same value, despite it's rarity

I don't mind loot boxes if its cosmetic stuff, and I also have the option of buying said cosmetics outright with in-game currency(ala Overwatch). If unlockables end up behind lootboxes, that's some fukk shyt.

Thanks Overwatch.

Shadow of War, Forza 7, WWE 2K18, Assassin's Creed: Origins, Star Wars Battlefront 2
pretty much every major new game has them now. Because it's not enough for you to buy DLC directly you need to buy a chance to get the piece of DLC you want or not.
Games I don't play :wow:

Let's keep it that way :blessed:

To be fair all of Overwatch content is free. It just gives u a option to skip the grind. And it's really just the event items that buying loot boxes is even worth it.

Im not interested in any of the other games that were posted but it there is NO CHANCE of getting the items out of the lootboxes with normal gameplay then it shouldn't be compared to overwatch.
