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

Even if you are a fan it's not ethically justifiable to be massively overcharged. I've opened hundreds of lootboxes in RL and I'm not even close to have everything I wanted. And they're making new boxes constantly. Making the most popular things extremely rare develops an unhealthy side market where people pay 20 bucks or more for single items. People laughed about horse armor, now imagine the horse armor being 100 bucks. That's where we are today.

It's getting worse and worse with loot boxes and developers will continue to carve more and more content out of the game to hide behide gambling.

"It's just cosmetics" isn't an argument. Cosmetics in onine games are a core part of the game. Cosmetics used to be free, you know, until companies found a way to exploit people. All lootboxes do is massively increasing the price of micro transactions. If they had just increased the price of them everyone would've revolted but making them even more expensive and preying on weak individuals with addictive personalities is somehow a good thing? 

If it doesn't effect my gameplay and aslong as i get the full value out of my product for the price i personally couldnt care if there in the game or not. 

No one seem to care that OverWatch had them.. i wonder why? Maybe because gamers were too busy playing and having fun with the game. 

Loot crates in my opinion have been blown out of proportion and seems to be a thing gamers want to hold close for to pin there blame and critism on.

I have only played 1 game this gen where i didnt enjoy my experience and that was Battlefront where everyone was running around with that Han Solo gun and it gave newbies like myself a major disadvantage at the time. I heard Battlefront 2 isnt any better how ever since it has a campaign it wont effect me.

Yes, I also think health insuarance shouldn't exist, after all, I'm not even sick right now.

See you in a year when developers are putting things YOU like in loot boxes because people didn't protest loot boxes enough.
