There is absolutely nothing wrong with loot boxes and microtransactions. They've been around since tf2, so stop whining. Also stop being poor. Don't like them? Don't buy then. They are here to stay and your autistic outcry will change nothing. Stop trying to ruin peoples careers.

shut the fuck up

>They've been around since tf2, so stop whining.

So it's okay to have them if they've been around? I don't think it works like that.

>Also stop being poor.

So I should not complain about lootboxes because if I do I'm apparently poor?

The fuck logic is this?

lootbox dev go and stay go

There is absolutely nothing wrong with mustard gas. It's been around since WW1, so stop whining. Also stop being poor. Don't like it? Buy a gas mask. It is here to stay and your autistic outcry will change nothing. Stop trying to ruin chemical weapons development.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with rape and pedophilia. They've been around since the greeks, so stop whining. Also stop being poor. Don't like kids? Don't rape then then. They are here to stay and your autistic outcry will change nothing. Stop trying to ruin Kevin Spacey's career.

As much as I don't like lootboxes there is nothing wrong with them and taking them away doesn't matter, but what really is fucking the gaming is that you can purchase a fucking starter pack (like in new Battlefront II) that gives you advantage against other players which is even written in the description of said pack....

This shit sooner or later will destroy video games as we know it.

basically this

>food analogy

Only poor, kids, and stupid people use the ''you don't want this unethical and stupid bussiness practice being shoved in your throat because you're poor'' excuse when they don't understand how money and scams work.

Yeah, vote with your wallet, amirite?

People got around lootboxes with a player controlled market, though?

Shut the fuck up. Loot boxes are awful. There is not one single excuse as to why lootboxes are justifiable.

>But Overwatch
Tied cosmetics in a premium game to a slot machine. Even if cosmetics aren't part of gameplay (they are), they should be either directly purchasable or you can suck my fucking dick. Fuck Blizzard for making this the industry standard the fucking actual goddamn Jewish cunts.
>But you don't have to pay for them
Its in a premium game. I want all of it.
>But vote with your wallet
That has never worked. Season passes are here. Microtransactions before that. This shit stays and becomes the norm.

The vote with your wallet argument is stupid and something that would only apply in America 60 years ago.

tf2 boxes = can exchange into real world cash
consoleshit boxes and ow = can not, therefore it's shit

>There is absolutely nothing wrong with loot boxes and microtransactions.
>As much as I don't like lootboxes there is nothing wrong with them
This is only said by people who have not spent one SECOND to think about the gameplay philosophy and design repercussions of lootboxes. here's literally nothing right about them. They:
-Take away control from the player
-Inflate grind
-Remove reward for performance
And the upside? Complete useless fucking casuals who wouldn't be able to earn anything in a real game feel good about themselves.

Seriously, where do oblivious faggots like you keep popping up from? Blizzard forums?

This, only idiots would not think about the very obvious fact that companies will try to make lootboxes profitable, and how do you do that? By creating need, and how do you create the need for lootboxes? By making you grind a fuckton, or making the game stupidly hard. Then idiots say “hey, if you're poor you can still get that thing without paying'', or “thank god I can buy this, thank you companies for scamming me".

OOOOOHHH, you like totally just rekt him user
