I thought it was Mass Effect 3 that started it? Well first instances where I saw it in a game anyway.
But looking at this thread, I just realised the way that modern loot boxes in game is no different to stickers for World Cup football sticker collection. There's always 1 or 2 that are hard to come by but the kids spend their pocket money on a pack to try and get it.
The industry won't change as long as people keep buying it and honestly, alot of youtubers and alike are to blame. They sometimes drop more on them than they paid for the original game because they make a lot to do it in a video.
Hmm, pie.
