traps are niggers

@coattailsandbowties im out of tutorial now

so mobile games didnt exist before 2008

thats what youre telling me?

Thats the thing the game companies took the piss with lootboxes and they did a piss poor job of regulating themselves.

not with this monetization method no

no but the concept of microtransactions as we know them didnt

...................

lol

mobile games sold premium content outright, fifa did gambling premium content

@YeetshirtNinja I mean yeah, chronologically. but in terms of influence I think the first really big mobile MTX heavy game was clash of clans in 2011-2012?

(x) doubt

card packs were an innovation

And then they are going to complain why governments clamp down on them.

LOL

OUBT

If we're talking about gambling then Fifa did it first

nah MTX was massive all the way back online @coattailsandbowties

but card packs was FIFA in 2008

can you cite a specific example? like the monetisation models between a game like candy crush and EA games post 2008 are wildly different

mmo's did it before fifa as well in the gaming market iirc

CC only sells extra lives as far as I know, whereas (again, AFAIK) EA p. much created the loot box

yeetshirt

I mean really games like the sims were the first to capitalise on the whole "pay for extra content in the same game" kinda thing, as far as I'm aware. MMOs might have gotten there sooner but I don't know too much about them.

all these people saying you're wrong

which is now in every single one of their games and in most other AAA games

but no my dude

im still the dribbler right

yes

:­D

you are

MTX used a different model before card packs, card packs are what's boomed the most in MTX

Tbh most f2p games are better than ea games

csgo is a f2p game now

but then again its csgo

before card packs MTX made most of its money from whales, players who spent massive amounts on everything compared to the average

csgo is alrigth

pirate

card packs still make a ton of money from whales
