you cant dismiss it
no it isnt
the lootbox MTX, which is what we're talking about, originated with EA
loads of baseball cards are worth nothing
and has nothing to do with DLC
they're physical
oh also the card packs that are physical are guaranteed to have X amount of things before they're opened
The main issue is all the targets for monetisation are killing game franchises
digital can change on the fly
name a game where they do
It killed dead space and deus ex to name a few.
the amount of rares printed and distributed between trading card packs doesnt change
@StØic MTG.
oooof BL2 torrent to be done in 5-6 hours
gonna fire that up tonight
the amount of rares in circulation from lootboxes is relative
@coattailsandbowties that's a game that has lootboxes with varying items within?
also no they dont
lootboxes have set rates
Can I just buy a game & not be expected to pay more fucking money
those set rates dont gaurantee anything
do something better
@AstroTorch just don't pay for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
just like with trading cards
lootboxes have set weights, not rates
God I hate EA, but I love Battlefront 2
you arent gauranteed a rare card
but its got a certain rarity
it's RNG not "x amount is in circulation"
^
its % based
don't pay for games, play good F2P/B2P games like path of exile and guild wars or stick to AA/indie devs
^
the larger the amount of lootboxes opened
every single AAA studio atm is looking for ways to rinse you
then that's worse
PoE is best F2P
and they're following EA's lead
the larger the amount of "rares" that get opened
