How Blizzard ruined gaming, now every game has lootboxes

You say that because youre only playing overwatch as your main game, its a fact that getting DLC now takes way more money with these lootboxes than just buying costumes. Do you have a contratc something that Blizzard will continue to give you free DLC? They can just bring it out an expansion the next day, or doing it for their future games.

Starcraft 2 had 2 expansions, 1 story DLC and countless DLC commanders added to it and guess what? Blizzard implenenent the same lootboxes like from overwatch recentley. So you see youre wrong, you give them a little bit and they keep demanding more. They gonna still do DLC, expansionpacks and on top of that lootboxes microtransactions.

But they have been true to their word so far... And By that logic, we can't trust any companies to do anything which makes this thread pointless since no companies really give you a contract about anything they say...

And yea, starcraft 2 has expansions, dlcs and micro-transactions and I voiced my dislike for them... Again, it is not the same implementation as Overwatch.  And it actually doesn't have lootboxes cause lootboxes are randomized while in starcraft 2, You pay for the skins that you want. There is a War Chest thing but that's not a lootboxes thing either cause after you pay for it, you get the skins by playing the game and getting experience but it isn't randomized.

Regardless, I am not defending blizzard. I personally don't like what they did with starcraft 2 but I am defending Overwatch's Implementation cause I think it's the best implementation there is. I got all this content and will continue to get more content without having to pay anything extra like I would if they had the dlc method... Sure, they could change it but so could any other company and at that point, this isn't a blizzard issue, this is an industry issue.

And I don't see how I was "wrong." I am defending overwatch and not starcraft 2 and hilariously, you are the one that's wrong cause sc2 doesn't have a loot box system like in overwatch.

I also fail to see how overwatchs lootboxes provided you with more content to support your game. The content blizzard has given seems to be pretty mediocore, and is the same like other games without lootboxes. It seems the new conent is more like more skins which in turn have to be unlocked with even more lootboxes gambling wouldnt you think?
