why did Valve have to go and ruin gaming?

niggers

*blocks your path*

FUCKING REDDIT GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD

Does it still counts as a lootbox if you can only buy it with ingame currency?

Can it be true?

valve didn't even invent this shit
japs did

yes, it's about the RNG gambling tactic that hooks vulnerable people with the "just one more box" mentality

I bet steam and blizzard are fucking getting mad at EA for fucking up so bad that one country might just label loot crates as gambling.

I wonder what would happen if all country's followed.

The only thing bad about it is more card variety in a multiplayer game has to be bought for irl money (although all player's cards are shuffled in the beginning) and that Saki is not included in the default game.

yeah but importing it here ruined western gaming

Which games actually have lootboxes? I can only think of like 5

So does a monster with rare random drops counts a lootbox?

If not, why?

shhhh
don't tell the weebs this or they'll end up shoving a katana up their ass

It's not a lootbox but MMOs do employ a lot of classic casino hooks to keep players "engaged", they got a lot of hate back in the day for making people addicted.

Why it's not a lootbox? Just because It's not shaped like a box?
I uses the same tactic as "just one more box", just change the word box for kill.

I'm not trying to call you out on something or defend lootboxes, it's just that I feel like this shit has been there forever but only now people are noticing it.

WHAT I AM GOONA GET
WONDER WHATS INSIDE THIS CRATE

>people crying about lootboxes

like little babies

Japs have laws regulating their lootbox/gacha shit

The West doesn't

they only did that to please the shareholders, with all this bad publicity and the game getting pretty mediocre reviews they aren't putting up with that noise if it means lost sales

IT'S NOT UNUSUAL

KNOW THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE, PLEB.

Monster loot is more involved than loot boxes but like I said it's still the same kind of hook, I played a lot of Tibia back in the day but I was never into hunting monsters for hours on end, I just liked to explore.

...

...

why was that chocolate so delicious

Yeah but you can eat the box.

>he doesn't eat his lootboxes

>I just liked to explore.

Autism.

Replace the chocolate with plastic and you have gacha which is illegal in Japan.
>food analogy

>odds of each win are actually disclosed
HMMMMMM

I feel like it's not so different. When you're hunting the same monster the same spot for days it becomes systematic and it's basically a lootbox.

I would say exploration is the exact opposite of autism, autistic people love safety and repetition.

are you retarded
the surprise is a bonus, you buy it for the chocolate
lootboxes is paying for a chance to get what's in the prizepool

DOIN IT AND DOIN IT AND DOIN IT WELL

I think he means like no one asked how he played and it's completely unrelated to the topic. He just aspie'd out of nowhere.

Honestly - if DLC came with food ala BC2 I would be much happier.

Buying that Dr. Pepper was very reasonable. Haven't drunk it since, of course, but it was still very pleasurable at the time. The codes were a bonus.

I still feel alerted when I see that little icon

>being ok with verification can DLC
the state of Sup Forums

If it doesn't increase the price of the product and is edible I'm not TOO pissed off about it.


More importantly it was just skins, I believe, some sort of SPECTAT upgrades.

Ideally this wouldn't be in at all BUT it was worthwhile enough to make my soda purchase worthwhile.

Life itself is a lootbox

Do you know why those eggs are white on the inside and brown on the outside?
if they were brown on the inside they’d steal the prize

That doesn't make sense, black people are guts-red and bone-white on the inside as well.

Do you know why you're still a virgin?

You're a 3/10 beta male.

The argument has always been the effort:reward ratio. That's it.

It was made obvious that EA created a low reward output to the effort input, so they made it virtually punishing to NOT buy the locked content.

Valve taught me well to never buy another microtransaction

*invades your SoL anime*

UMA

>hop into the game
>still can top score board and carry team with stock weapon
They still haven't lost their way I guess

There's no lootboxes in non-mobile Japanese games.

It's clearly in english

Lol you sure showed him xd

No. The Chinese did

just fuck AAA
fuck it all, it's clear I'm not the target audience anymore and whales are more valuable to them

>Replace the chocolate with plastic and you have gacha which is illegal in Japan.
The fuck are you smoking

It's actually just digital gacha that is illegal which is an odd distinction, I guess the government doesn't want to step on yakuza territory.

STOP IT STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP DELETE THIS FUCKING SHIT DOWNVOTED

>actiblizzdrones doing food analogies because they can't admit that they are addicted to gambling

Do people actually believe the toy machine arguments?
Its a little different when you have the option to resell items for actual value in a convenient little system that's right in front of you and the items being sold are unquestionably of unequal value; being more or less then what you paid.
For toy machines you pay 25 cents to get a 25 cent toy that nobody will buy off of you. For loot boxes users pay a few dollars for a virtual "good" that may be worth more or less then what they paid to which the user is (usually) shown immediately how much the item they got is worth and how to resell it. Its clearly gambling.

>mfw

Someone post the greentext

Valve normalized it though

Guys what if target and such sold all their cloths and products In loot boxes? You want that white vneck? You gotta purchase the vneck loot box and hope you get the rare white vneck that only has a 5 percent chance of being inside, so gotta buy atleast ten to maybe get that shirt!
Somebody please make this into a meme

whoa...

I would go to a different store

that is a really cute trap

its a female(girl)

Loot boxes were a mistake.

Powerful.

IF I CATCH WHO EVER YOUR LOOT BOX PRANKSTER'S ARE I'LL BEAT YA TO DEATH WITH A NAIL IN A TWO BY FOUR!

fuck off talon

Rarity distributions are cancer which is why nearly every fucking gamble box is trash. Shitty blind box with no duplicates is somewhat acceptable. Fight me

you're in a loot box

devs misunderstand what is to gift and what it is to gamble. That's where the disconnect lies. The're just fucking ignorant. It's like telling kids not to meth even though they have no idea that it existed to begin with.

>there's random shit inside
>most of it is useless
Sounds about right
