How Blizzard ruined gaming, now every game has lootboxes

Yeah but guess whos most  lazy one with producing new games? From 2004 they only released 7 games okay. I am pretty sure the game list is massive for Nintendo, Sony, WB or EA during the same timeframe. Its quite redicolous how Blizzard has 10 times more revenue than Capcom, while Capcom has brought 50 times more released games than blizzard on the table, and most of them are good if not even better than Blizzards 7 games.

I am not excusing Uncharted 4 but again at least it has a big single player campaign. With overwatch the cosmetic items are playing a larger role than in uncharted 4 or other games who have a lot more content than overwatch. For me cosmetic items locked behind a microtransaction sheme is just as bad  as singleplayer microtransctions, espacially in overwatch which doesnt have a singleplayer caompaign.

''Huh? That doesn't make any sense... If a game has micro-transactions... Clearly not everything is free...''

Yeah and neither it is with overwatches randomized lootbox microtransactions, whats your point?

But that's not relevant to anything... Really you are just moving goal posts at this point.

But it does sound like you are giving UC4 more of a pass compared to overwatch or really any blizzard games... Starcraft 2 LoTV has a single player campaign which in length is similar to UC4

They both have micro-transactions for online but UC4 takes it one step further by also having lootboxes...

Now let me guess what your argument is going to be... It will probably be something like oh but UC4 has better graphics and is more fun for me so it makes it more okay than in sc2 which is just an rts... To which I will say... Sounds like you are bias.

"Yeah and neither it is with overwatches randomized lootbox microtransactions, whats your point?"

My point is... Again... The dlc that affects gameplay is free in overwatch... The micro-transactions are obviously not...

I think this is just going around in circles with a lot of moving goal posts so I am gonna go ahead and probably not reply after this comment. You can have the last word since it's pretty clear that it's less about how blizzard is "ruining gaming" and more about "I hate blizzard cause they molested me when I was younger"

Again look at all the stuff i have listed for Starcraft 2 in order to get all the skin items for your units, they released 2 expansion packs which is 100$ extra in order to play the latest multiplayer in SC2. U4 Lost legacy at least didnt effect the multiplayer, and it also wasnt stripped away content unlike with Blizzard who was demanding an expansion pack for the two other races.

And why are you comparing U4 with SC2 now? And there is no bias for me disliking SC2, U4 seems to be the better value to me and charging less money in order to unlock all the things, it doesnt have lootboxes from looking into it so you just made it up before. 

You dont understand the very deffnition of microtransactions by the way, they include everything that needs ingame currency (Gold and lootboxes in Overwatch) including scins not just pay to win advancements 

Microtransaction is a business model where users can purchase virtual goods via micropayments.

I allready put forward my argument why cosmetics are just as bad as pay to win microtransactions if the game is MP only, but listen to jim sterling if you need another opinion
