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

Loot boxes are terrible. I won't support any game that has them. Speaking of which: In the console realm, is this just a third party and Microsoft thing so far? I see MS has already employed this crap in Halo 5, Gears Of War 4, and now Forza 7. I can't find any games from Nintendo or Sony that have had a loot box systems.

Nintendo i havent seen it. Sony do worse. Play TLOU multiplayer and its basically pay to win. I believe UC does similar plus play GT5. I think there was a car that cost $120 to earn..

Nothing wrong with loot boxes if done right. Like OverWatch.

Loot boxes aren't done right unless you can directly buy the stuff that's in it. Hiding stuff behind gambling is a terrible thing to do. It preys on vulnerable people and makes people who just want a specific thing overpay massively. Loot boxes are far worse than traditional micro transactions. Remember how we hated those? Back in the long long ago 2015.
