Topic	Why Does Overwatch Get A Pass for Scummy DLC Practices???
weapon_d00d816 05/25/17 2:52:10 PM #61:	Terra-enforcer posted... weapon_d00d816 posted... Overwatch isn't nearly as bad with it as Gears 4. Almost the exact same RNG lottery thing but with a $50 season pass that lets you play the free DLC maps in private matches. That's actually a good point that supports exactly what I mean. Gears gets a ton of hate too even though the lootboxes are similar in nature. Even disregarding the DLC, I recall hearing a lot of hate in the lootbox inclusion in general. Yeah they have all sorts of anti-consumer tactics for duping people with the gear packs. They'll release unique "featured packs" for two weekends out of the month that contain exclusive content that can only be acquired at that time. But in the days leading up to it, they'll release another, cheaper unique pack with carrot-on-a-stick drop rates to sponge up people's credits, that way they're more inclined to buy the featured packs with cash. Then the featured packs end up having just as awful drop rates for the main items and are filled to the brim with duplicates. You almost never get all the skins in the pack to have a matching set, which is what usually drives people to keep buying them. Also, I don't think they ever announced that DLC maps would be free before the game launched, so everyone bought the season pass thinking that was the only way to access them. --- SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG <cite>weapon_d00d816 posted [p:879794107] in Why Does O...
