@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
no
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
then that's worse
PoE is best F2P
and they're following EA's lead
the larger the amount of "rares" that get opened
making billions
the demand remains
i never ended up fucking with PoE
the supply sustains
if you cannot possibly win unless enough are opened to increase the pool that's fixed
i just downloaded it and played a bit last night. POE seems legit
they're releasing some free expansion today
pirate
looks p. cool
i need a new torchlight
everything you said minus the specific terms for digital
could be applied to TCGs
so tell me once more
besides tangibility, what's really the difference between lootboxes and TCG's
wait..... there IS a new torchlight coming
