A rant. Greedy lootboxes, and a better way to do user reviews.

If I can't find the game in a brick and mortar store, do you really think I'm going to pay through the nose for a digital version, instead of finding a used copy? This means that even if I wanted to support the developers by buying a game new, they are pricing it so high that I'd be a fool to not pick the game up used. It's either that or wait for a sale. But I want to play the game NOW, not in a year's time, when it finally goes on sale for a reasonable price.

You know what, you really do criticize pirates a lot, but this is the exact same logic that they use. Hopefully you can become a bit more sympathetic to those who are too poor to afford to buy their games, but still want to enjoy the great medium that is video games.

Well, the developer already got paid for the game when it was originally bought. Used car, and book sales don't get criticized, but used game sales deserve it?
