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

2018-12-07 11:00:33 UTC  

nah MTX was massive all the way back online @coattailsandbowties

2018-12-07 11:00:39 UTC  

but card packs was FIFA in 2008

2018-12-07 11:00:43 UTC  

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

2018-12-07 11:01:04 UTC  

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

2018-12-07 11:01:12 UTC  

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

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.

2018-12-07 11:01:30 UTC  

all these people saying you're wrong

2018-12-07 11:01:32 UTC  

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

2018-12-07 11:01:32 UTC  

but no my dude

2018-12-07 11:01:35 UTC

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

2018-12-07 11:01:42 UTC  

Tbh most f2p games are better than ea games

2018-12-07 11:01:49 UTC  

csgo is a f2p game now

2018-12-07 11:01:55 UTC  

but then again its csgo

2018-12-07 11:02:01 UTC  

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

2018-12-07 11:02:04 UTC  

csgo is alrigth

2018-12-07 11:02:08 UTC  

pirate

2018-12-07 11:02:08 UTC  

card packs still make a ton of money from whales

2018-12-07 11:02:10 UTC  

Gw2 is the shit

2018-12-07 11:02:12 UTC  

yeah i was about ot say

2018-12-07 11:02:15 UTC  

Wait, Csgo went f2p?

2018-12-07 11:02:15 UTC  

but generally pulls better from the wider audience

2018-12-07 11:02:17 UTC  

card p[acks are still whale haevy

2018-12-07 11:02:20 UTC  

yeah

2018-12-07 11:02:21 UTC  

csgo f2p

2018-12-07 11:02:21 UTC  
2018-12-07 11:02:25 UTC

2018-12-07 11:02:33 UTC  

You need to buy to play comp

2018-12-07 11:02:37 UTC  

Well fuck me, I wasted money

2018-12-07 11:02:43 UTC  

when

2018-12-07 11:02:43 UTC  

Never played comp

2018-12-07 11:02:50 UTC  

it's funny blizz caught so much shit for their lootboxes, because they make hardly any money from them

2018-12-07 11:02:53 UTC  

it's something like $5000 to buy all the items in the Sims 3 store
